MAY SACRIFICE CASTLE RONALD ART TREASURES Debtor Attaches Personal Property of Estate of
 Famous Whip HUNDRED THOUSAND
 ASKED FOR ESTATE Owner of Famous Hilltop Mansion Has Received
 Offer of STE, 600
Special to The Farmer )


 Newtown, May 10.-Myron w. Bron- son of Hackensack, N. J., has levied an attachment for $16,0O on the per sonaI property Of Miss Elizabeth Blake, the owner of Castle Ronald.
 The property which includes the rare paintings, statuar-y, tapestries. and rugs, were gathered by Peter LorilIard Ronald during his life time to beau 'tify his magnificent home on the crest of one of the highest hills of New town. At, his death eight years ago he bequeathed these with the castle to Miss Blake, who had been his private secretary for many years
 The property has become involved in litigation through attempts to make letting it for use as sanatorium or rest institution, all of which turned out poorly. To rna,ks these changes, Miss Blake mortgaged the castle to the ex- tent of about $40,000, and the holders of these evidences of debt have brought foreclosure proceedings. the time of redemption being next month. The latest attachment is to secure the holder of mortgages, other than the first, which latter is held by the New As ford Savings bank.
 Miss Blake has refused an offer of $75, 900 but is holding out for $100,0 and hopes to get it's value approxi- mately before it will automatically pass into the control of the mort gagees by. court action. The records show that when it was built in 1888 greatly enlarged an. modernized in recent years. Deputy Sheriff M D. Beers, who served the attachment pa pers, has filed a list of the personal property with the town clerk and has put Constable c. B. Johnson in charge.
