NAMES MOTHER.iN-LAW
For Guardian of Shiloh Man Who Gave
Away Farm.

Auburn. Me, Dec. 1S.-Jddge w. II.
Newell of the Androscosgin county pro-
bate court Saturday appointed Hattie A.
Bowie Of Phippsburg guardian of Will
liam r. Wiley of Durham. a member of
the Holy Ghost and Us Society under
the leadership of Rev. Frank w. Sand
ford. The guardianship extends only to
his estate, Mr.. Wiley being left free to
conduct himself as he pleases.
Mrs. Bowie is the mother of Mr.. Wi
ley's wife and brought the petition for
guardianship to protect the property of
her son-in-law from falling Mnder the
control of the Holy Grost and us Soeie-
ty. Mr.. Wiley, who originally came from
Aroostook county, has q wife and five
children. He was converted to the Sand
ford belief a few years ago and sold his
property in Aroostook for $1,000 and join
ell the Holy Ghost and Us. Society at
Durham, paying $500 for farm there
and $500 for team. All he has left now
is the farm, the rest having been given
to the society. The society also manages
his farm for him, but the title to 1t is
still his.
Mr.. Wiley expressed wish that II. q.
Coolidge Of Lisbon Falls be appointed
guardian If it was thought necessary,
and Mrs. Wiley preferred her brother to
her mother, but Judge Newell decided to
appoint the mother. -
The appointment was made on the
ground that Mr.. Wiley is of unsound
mind and to save the estate for the ben
eft Of his family.
