a. w. Garter on the merits, 10 tne
many charges made against him. Mr.
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
ers, Samuel Parker and his minor grand
daughter, Annie T. X. Parker.
LOWS MOTIVES SELFISH AND
DISCREDITABLE.
A number OF the formal allegations
OF the bill which J. s. Low has brought
asking for his removal as guardian of
the minor, ar, admitted.
He denies that John p. Parker, father
of the minor was intimate with Low or
interested in the minor, until very re-
Gently when for motives of self interest
and out 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 J. ). 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 interloper, intruder and
volunteer in assuming to act as next
friend or otherwise in behalf of said
minor.
Low SEARCHING FOR AMMUNI-
TON.
Third. He admits that Low has ex-
amined the accounts of the guardian of
said minor, on file in this court, but
charges that he was not induced by any
thing he found in the records of the es-
tate to bring these proceedings but that
he had already determined upo, bringing
the proceedings. and was merely looking
for material to fortify him in carrying
out plan already formed to attack this
defendant as guardian of said minor,
and to secure his removal, If possible.
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 mil
lion dollars; that the bulk of said es-
tate consists of the right or share OF
said minor in said Parker Ranch; that
said Parker Ranch consists of some
10000 acres of land, an area more than
two-thirds as large as the Island of Ca
hui 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 would have been Sc
riousy crippled, l. said leaseholds were
to pass to others.
CARTER SECURED WAIKOLOA
FOR THE RANCH.
That he acquired one such easehold,
the land of Waikoloa of 10000 acres,
which would nave crippled the ranch if
it had been lost, purchasing it at very
low price; he claims that his services
in the acquisition of Waikoloa land alone
was reasonably worth the entire commits
sions received by him from said minors
estate since his appointment as guardian
thereof.
THE PUULOA SHEEP STATION.
He also acquired for the ranch the
Puuloa Sheen Station; including a claim
to leasehold interest in certain portions
OF said land of Waikoloa and also in
Guiding some fee simple lands within the
confines of said Parker Ranch, parti-
cularly the land OF Gull, consisting of
3632> acres, long narrow land
running unbroken from the sea beach
east OF Kawaihae across said Parker
Ranch for distance OF II miles and
practically cutting off the Kohala section
of said ranch from the balance of the
same for a reasonable price, larger
amount being offered therefor shortly
after by +. p. Low, which has further
led to the security of said Parker Ranch.
PROTESTS AGAINST LOWS
FALSE CHARGES.
He protests against reflection upon
him for the accordance OF the commits
sons conferred upon him by law; and
charges that j. S. Lows claim that he
was moved TO institute these proceed
ings partly by reason of excessive COM
missions charged against said minor, is
false. and has no foundation in fact,
DENIES THAT THERE is A PART

ship, and says that the lands Of said
ranch are held some OF them in lee eN-
cusiyely by said minor, some In fec
exclusively by said Samuel Parker, and
