KENT T0 CELEBRATE
 WITH HIS FAMILY;
 CHARGE DISMISSED

Otis F. Kent will pass Christmas with lis wife and babies. Instead of passing the holiday in d i! dreary cell in the county jail, Kent will be at home with his young wife and four kiddies.
 The man. charged with failure to provide for his family, was given d suspended sentence by Judge Stan ford yesterday.
 When he was bound over from the justice court and left the court roora in the custody of the sheriff, his tiny daughter called for her daddy to comA home. It was probably that small voice that helped Kent when ne laced the court yesterday to ask for one mere chance.
 Judge Stanford has given him the opportunity for which he craved. But in granting the suspended sentence, he has ruled that Kent remain ir Maricopa county and that he report once week to the probation officer. The court will also act as banker for Kent and see that he provides for those for whom he is reoponsiD.e.
