IA. w. Carter on the merits, to the
lmanv charges made against him. MIR.
Carter has at last filed an exhaustive
answer. in which he meets every charge
made and tells the story of his relations
to the Parker Ranch and its two own
Iers, Samuel Parker and his minor grand
daughter, Annie T. K. Parker.
Lows MOTIVES SELFISH AND
DISCREDITABLE.
! A number of the formal allegations
of the bill which J. S. Low has brought
asking for mis- removal as guardian OF
the mir Or, are. admitted.
He denies that John P Parker, father
of the minor was intimate with Low or
interested in the minor. until very re-

and put of no regard to said minor or
| his relations with her said father the
said ]. S. Low has taken a great but
wholly discreditable and selfish inter
est in the affairs of said minor and in
her property rights; that said ]. S. Low
is representing and has personal and
property rights which are hostile to and
in conflict with the person and property
interests of said minor. and which are
necessarily involved in these proceed
| ings; and that these proceedings were
not instituted for the benefit OF said min
| or and are not for her benefit but were
instituted to serve the interests of said
next friend and third parties, and that
he is a mere irterloper, intruder and
volunteer in assuming to act as next
friend or otherwise in behalf of said
minor

TON.
Third. He admits that Low has ex-
anined the accounts of the guardian OF |
said minor, on file in this court, but I
charges that he was not induced by any I
thing he found in the records of the es-
tate to bring these proceedings but that
he had already determined upon bringing
the proceedings, and was merely looking /
for material to fortify him in carrying /
out a plan already formed to attack this |
defendant as guardian of said minor, /
That he, Carter, has made no charges /
against the minors estate except the
regular statutory commissions fixed by
law.
A HALF MILLION ESTATE.
That the services rendered by him
to said minor are well worth the COM
mission charged; that the estate of said
minor is worth more than half a mil.
lion doiiii9cs; that the bulk of said es
tate consists of the right or sffare OF
said minor in said Parker Ranch; that
said Parker Ranch consists of some
27o,ooo acres of land, an area more than
two birds as large as the Island of Ca
hu of this Territory. and of over 10000
head of cattle and horses. :. +
That large portions of said Parker
Ranch consisted of leaseholds at the
time defendant assumed guardianship of
the property of said minor; that great
care and foresight have had to be and
will have to be exercised to secure re-
newals thereof upon favorable terms to
said minor, and to prevent other inter
ests from acquiring the same. That at +,
the time defendant assumed said guard
ianship said ranch wo.lld have been Sc
riously crippled, i said leaseholds were
to pass to others.

AGAINST LOWS
Z FALSE CHARGES.
He protests against reflection upon :
him for the acceptance # the commits
