GUARDIAN WANTS THE MONEY.

Counsellor Robert Lawrence of the firm
of Rabbit & Lawrence asked Judge
Eudspeth today to grant an order per-
hitting George Tenant, as administra-
tor, to pay over funds to a guardian for
the benefit OF the heir.
Josephine Elizabeth Caroline Aveline
died in france several years ago, leav-
ing a large estate to Casio Albert Ave-
line. who was a minor. Baron de Mont
fort was appointed guardian over CASTOR
by the French court, and when he as
certained that a considerable portion of
the estate was in THIS country, he Sc
cured the appointment of Counsellor
George Tenant of this city as admis-
traitor for the purpose of converting the
property into cash and turning it ever
TO the heir. In France the estate of the
guardian is responsible for the estate of
the ward and for that reason Baron de
Montfort is anxious to have his wards
estate under his immediate control.
Judge Hudspeth took the papers and
will render a decision in q few days.
