A SMALL FORTUNE
INVOLVED IN A CASE FILED IN COMMON
PLEAS COURT.

Other Matters Cleaned From the Temple
of Justioe-A Life Insurance Contro.
versy of Some Interest.
A case involving a small fortune has
been fled in common pleas court by
Baldwin and Shields. The plaintiff is
| Anton Dieboid, as guardian for Carl Die
bold and the defendant Carrie Diebold.
The circumstances in the case as recited
| in the petition are OF rather interesting
nature and will bring up some legal points
| for the courts to decide. Carrie Diebold
the defendant is the second wife of Carl
| Diebold who is one of Cauton's old and
wealthy citizens. For some time past the
old gentleman has been unable to prop
erly attend to business and on January
10. Probate Judge Fswcett appointed
Anton Diebold as his guardian. The
petition declares that in Nov. 1892 Carr
Diebold deposited in the Peoples Savings
Bank ST., ,450 for which he took certificates
and that he further owned 81 900 in stock
in the bank, had S270 in cash deposited on
| a pass book and held note for $500 on
Anton Diebold. As the story goes
| his wife prevailed upon him
ust prior to the appointment of a guars
dian to give her possession OF all this prop
| erty and the petition says she fraudulently
| took advantage of his epfeebled condition
and got his mark on the back of all of the
securities transferring them to her.
| Immediately after the appointment Of
| the guardian the defendant in this action
went to the bank and demanded the
money on the securities which amounted
to over $4,000. She failed to get it as it
was not due but the petition says she will
! dispose of the papers and convert the
means to her own use. She has refused
to give up the property TO tho guardian Of
her husband. The petition asks that she
be restrained from collecting any money
on the papers or using them in any man
ner and that the bank be re-
strained from paying any of the
same to her and upon the flual hearing
1 the court is asked to order the property
to be given to the guardian for the benefit
of his ward.
Attorney Baldwin brought the case ber
fore Judge McCarty Tuesday evening,
