County Attorneys The record of county attorneyship will pretty well reflect the history of the Bar of Kimball County, for most of her lawyers have been honored with the public prosecutorship at one time or another. After J. B. Timmony, the next county attorney was James W. Davis; in 1892, J, J. Kinney undertook this office, and he served until the election of F. H. DeCastro in 1896. After Mr. DeCastro had served six years, Mr. J. J. Kinney was recalled to the office in 1903, and he served until the appointment of W. T. Ballard about 1909. Mr. Ballard served for about four years, and in 1913, James A. Rodman was elected. He served until 1918, and when he was elected to the office of state representative and went to the legislature to represent Kimball and neighboring counties, Mr. W. J. Ballard resumed the office of county attorney.

County Judges The important office of county judge, upon whom falls not only the trial of many matters of litigation but the responsible administration of probate affairs, was first assumed in Kimball countv bv George W. Beard. In 1890, H. Marshall undertook this office, and his successor was W. J. Leoning. In 1895, H. H. Prouty became judge and in 1899, Gus Linn was elected judge. H. H. Prouty then resumed the office and served for about ten years. Geo. W. Wright then became judge for a term and he was succeeded by P. Schwenk, and in 1913 a second long incumbency began when the present efficient county judge assumed the office, Judge F. J. Bellows.
