Preliminary hearing for Francisco
Garza charged with conspiracy to
kill Paula Cavasas Garza his wife
got under way short lv before 2 30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

Gomez and Dolores Maroquin
The charges are an outgrowth of
the near-fatal shooting of the Garza
woman in West Brownsville last

with a shattered jaw and wounds in
her left shoulder the result of a
charge of buckshot that struck her
as she was washing wishes. Her as-
sailant was masked and she was un-
ble to identify him.
She told officers that she had
been separted from her husband for
some time and had been having
frouble with him. Her husband was
arrested downtown shortly after the
shooting. He has been in custody of
officers since.
Claude Carter assistant district
attorney is prosecuting the case for
the state. Fred Kowalski is defense
attorney. -... I
back their own products in canned
roods at fancy pri'-e* The fruits
and vegetables are shipped to can-
ning centers and then ar* shipped
back here Win not keep them here
and can them?”
He urges that an effort bo made
!o popularize papayas and oth<*r
little-known Valley products "This
tan be done" he says. “I remem-
ber when grapefruit had no de-
mand—but it was unknown then."
Hall is especially impressed with
the luffa gourd which he is certain
can > produced cheaply in f
Valley Many articles manufactured
from this goard are now imported
