who up to that time had been n poor
farmer struggling to support n big fam
lily. Now he is one of the solid men Of
the county, and he made all his money
by the successful execution OF that
idea. lie knew that the ordinary
razorback hog of Florida was n great
natural enemy of snakes, and he set To
work TO systematically train whole
drove Of hogs TO hunt down and de-
stroy the reptiles, In n little while he
had his swine as thoroughly trained in
their part as setter dogs are drilled TO
point quail. lie Grst cleared his own
farm OF a vast quantity of big ones,
aud then he began TO hire out his hogs
TO his neighbors who were snake-af-
ficted. The fame Of those razorbacls
spread all over the land and people
whose places were infested with rat
tlesnakes and men who were clearing
up new land sent for Jones hogs,

his place and promises 70 give an OK

OYER MRS. BOGGS' ESTATE
Trustee Marbury Wants Collector
Hagner Removed.
He Alleges kinship With the Testa-
tors Son and Thinks He
Is Not Fit.

The contest over the will OF the late
Mrs. Ellen N. Boggs was carried further
in the probate court yesterday. Mr.. viii
liam L. Marbury, Of Baltimore, who is
named as Co trustee with Judge W. s. Cox,
filed petition for the removal Of Mr..
Randall HaSner as collector of the estate
and for the probate OF the will.
Mr.. Marbury says the property consists
OF the real estate at Thirty-first street and
Dumbarton avenue, bout $40 900 in stocks,
bonds, etc, and a large amount of plate,
pictures, and other valuables at the resi-
dence, No. 3O35 Dumbarton avenue. He
recites the facts already detailed by The
Times concerning the filing OF the Will,
its contents, and the appointment Of Mr..
Hagner as collector. He says the court
was misled into the appointneu: Of Mr..
Hagner by incorrect information and aCted
| iInprovidently.
There was no need of the prcctpitate
| action Of Paymaster Lawrence Boggs In
having his attorney, Mr.. tiagner, appointed.
The residence was not left unprotected,
as alleged, but was in the honds Of Frances
| L. Hardesty, the colored woman, who had
been employed by Mrs. Boggs for many
years and whom Mr.. Hagner has engaged
at S25 month to take care OF the property.
She was employed to stay there by night as
well as by day.
The appointment OF the collector, Mr..
Marbury says, was hurried through by Mr..
Boggs without notice either to himself or to
the principal legatee, Mrs. Berry. who
was only an hours ride from Washington,
and might have been easily reached.
zSptr ~ r.
Hagner was improper, as he Is Mr.. Boggs'
attorney. and more than that is related to
him by marriage, their wives being first
cousins. In the unfortunate state of feeling
In the family Mrs. Berry feels that Mr..
Hagner should not be entrusted with the
duties of collector.
Mr.. Marbury says Judge Cox is one OF the
trustees under the will OF Mrs. Boggs'
late husband, and he has written to him
at Hot Springs, Va, to know whether he
will accept the trust He docs not state
whether he has been Informed or not that
Judge Cox's renunciation has already been
received here.
In the same proceedings Mr.. Hagner
filed his report as collector He tells of
his finding the bonds at the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank OF GeorSetown, as related
by The Times. Also he says that he found
the residence nominally in the care of the
servant, Frances Hardisty, but the inner
doors were locked. Francis said Mrs.
Berry had the keys.
He wrote to Mrs. Berry for the keys and
applied to her attorney here, Mr. Morgan
Beach. Mr.. Beach said they would be de-
lvered to him. He had waited in vain to
got letter from Mr. Marbury saying they
would ask for his removal as collector.
Mr.. HagDer says be is unable to proceed
without further direction Of the court and
asks that an order be made authorizing
him to force open the doors of the residence
and appraise the property.
