certain specific methods of killing and

sease germs. States attorneys said
they would oppose the defense line Of

that he has been appointed Judge Of the
new civil district court which includes
Cameron and Willacy counties. Mr..
Kent wired his acceptance today, and
will resign as county attorney, before
the district court opens.
The new civil district court in Cam
eron county was created by an act Of the
legislature recently passed, the bill be-
ing sponsored by representatives and
senator's from the district concerned.
This is the first time in the legal his
tory of the Valley that this county has
been cut loose from "the country be-
yond the sand" as Brownsville and
Corpus Christi have been linked in court
matters since courts were created here.
The new court will open here, the sec
ond Monday in April
A. NJ. Kent, the newly appointed
judge, was born in Rolfe, Iowa, in 1888,
and attended rGrinneff College for some
time. He then went to the University
Of Chicago, taking law course there
for two years, and took his final year
in law at the University of Iowa, in his

Of seeking the court was given by the
attorneys as a desire to clear up the

bring to trial the many cases, some OF
which have been on the docket more
than ten years. The court will be al
most continuous, giving ample time to
care for the cases, it is believed.
