curing Grant n Ward Julian I. Davies and John
IL. Morris TO show cause on Monday next why

those bonds indiscrlpinately with other securities
for the purpose of borrowing money upon them, so
that the railroad company's property has become

atoms who claim a lien upon it, as lenders Of money
upon the securities Of Grant IL Ward. The greater
