Phillies co-owner and his sister in inheritance feud

RIBERA, N.M. - Anna Nupson lit another Marlboro Smooth as she sat in the garage that doubles as her office. The cluttered folding table beside her white Jeep is a makeshift desk. She smokes half a pack a day here, on an idyllic 40-acre ranch in the New Mexico plains - land she purchased using inheritance money from her family's tobacco business, John Middleton Inc.

The A Star M Ranch is sprawling, with its horses and alpaca, glass-enclosed artwork, and sparkling chandeliers. But an overwhelming anxiety pushes Nupson away from the opulence and into the garage.
