manager. Low, was a that very time
obeying the injunction issued by Judge
Edings in the partition suit of affiant
He was entirely refraining from inter
fering with the management of the
property. Now, if the affant, Carter,
were similarly enjoined there would be
nobody at all in responsible control of
the Parker Ranch. From this point Mr..
Carter goes on as follows with his
tory of his relation to the Parker
Ranch:
CARRIERS POSITION.
That afiant has had sole possession,
charge and management of said Park
er Ranch with full knowledge, consent
and cooperation of the plaintiff Sam
ueI Parker for over four years last
past;
That the business of said Ranch is
proceeding in an orderly manner and
according to esta blished routine and
that full protection is being afforded
to all the property both of the minor
Annie T. K. Parker and said Samuel
Parker, comprising the said Parker
Ranch; and that affiant has no desire,
plan or purpose to deviate in the flu
ture from the established methods
heretofore adopted by him in the care
and management of said ranch,-affi-
ant, on the contrary, pledging himself
that the said ranch shall be handled
in the usual and customary way, that
nothing will be done that can possibly
harm or injure the interests of those
concerned in said property; that affi-
ants plan and purpose has been to
continue Parker Ranch as heretofore
conducted as long as the same was
agreeable to the said Samuel Parker,
and up to within ten days ago affiant
had no reason to believe but that he was
acting in full accord with the wishes
and desires of said Samuel Parker in
the conduct of said ranch:
That affiant has continually consulted
with said Samuel Parker and placed
at his disposal every record and detail
of ranch work, and consulted said
Samuel Parker in the conduct of said
Ranch when any step was about to be
taken which affiant thought said Sam
ueI Parker might desire to be Informed
of or upon which said Samuel Parker
might desire to give advice, but now
that said Samuel Parker and Trustee
| have evidenced their desire to termin-
ate the arrangements under which said
| Ranch has been conducted by affiant
| as aforesaid nothing is left to affiant
but to secure as quickly and peaceably
as possible a partition and division,
whereby affiant can secure a severance
| and delivery to himself of the share
/ or interest of said Annie 7. K. Parker
in said Parker Ranch, affiant firmly be-
| he 1ica ctT to q
| interests of said minor to have her
affairs left in the control and at the
disposition of the said Samuel Parker
or any other person under the control
| of said Samuel Parker:
That affiant believes that said Sam
uel Parker has been aware of his. aff1-
ants, position in the premises; and af-
ffant's sole purpose in bringing the
! proceedings for a partition is to Sc
cure the segregation of said minors
| interest as soon as possible;
That affiant believes it his duty to
| resist and has been advised to resist
the turning over of the control of the
| property and assets of said minor to
| the said Samuel Parker or to his
agents;
That afffant as in his bill of COM
plant alleged would not accept the
| guardianship of the property of said
minor, though thereto requested by
said Samuel Parker until said Samuel
Parker had specifically pledged him.
self to affiant and promised that affi-
ant should have the control and man
agement of said Parker Ranch in the
interests of said minor, and now that
the said Samuel Parker and his TrUs-
tee F. Wundenberg have signified their
desire to terminate said management
and control, affiant believes it equitable,
just and right that he should be al
lowed to continue the management and
control Of said property until, and only
until he can secure a severance of the
interests of said minor as aforesaid;
and afiant here and now offers to as
