fighting between Arabs and Belgians in
the Congo state. 1t is alleged that the

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Oct. 6-Another chap
ter was enacted today in the sensational
escapades of Mrs. Emma J. Maggie. widow
of the late Erasmin NagIe
1t will be remembered that in July LAST
on an information being filed by Daniel
5. Swan, clerk of the district court OF
Laramie county. a jury decided that Mrs
Maggie was mentally incompetent to man.
age her own affairs. Judge Scott there.
upon appointed w. A. Robins. of this
city, guardian of Mrs. Maggie, whose
estate was valued at s125.OOO. He is also
the guardian of George H. Maggie. an 1S-
year-old son, with an estate valued at
100000, and was formerly one of the adj
rninistrators of the estate left by MIR.
Nagle at the time of his death in january
1890. Today Walter r. Stoll, attorney for
Harriet Hibbard, a sister of Mrs. Maggie,
filed a petition in the district court to
have Mr.. Robins relieved as guardian
of Mrs. Nagle.
In this petition some sensational allie
cations are made. The guardian is
charged with gross mismanagement, not
only of the estate of Mrs. Maggie, but also
that of her son, and the estate of the
late Z. Nagle, of which they are joint
heirs. The plaintiff alleges that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Robins as guardian was
procured through a conspiracy entered
into with one Fred Hess, of Rock Island,
ILL.,, who induced Mrs. Maggie to consent
TO the appointment by representing to her
that she would be freed from certain OBJ
legations which she had contracted TO
pay.
The plaintiff AYERS that Mrs. Nagle is
of perfectly sound mind and able to man
age her own estate. which is now being
misappropriated, and asks for an account
ing and the discharge of Robins.
Mrs. Nagle shortly after her husbands
death, married Charles A. White, of the
London Graphic. White squandered about
s1oc,0Oo of his wifes money and alb
sconded with securities amounting to
Sl25, 600. Attorney Stoll recovered these Sc
curities and also secured a divorce for
Mrs. Nagle and now has an unsatisfied
claim against her Of $13,400, for services
rendered.
Robins is one of the leading business
men OF Cheyenne and the filing Of the
suit has created a sensation.
