 1. Injunction criminal prosecution; {; jurisciction.-Equity will interfere by inJunction to restrain any act or pro- ceeoins tending to the destruction or impairment of property alth ough gen. efaily without power to restrain threatened criminal prosecution under state laws or municipal ordinances.
 z, cemeteries; establishments; regu- lation; nuisance.-A cemetery not be- ing of itself nuisance to those living Tn US immediate vicinity, neither ad- joining proprietors nor the public can complain thereof, unless from the manner of burials therein or from some other cause. irreparable injury will result therefrom.
 E. Same; legislative control .--Un- der the police power. and so long as 1t does not discriminate against any clti1en in favor of a municipality or of another citizen, or create aSY,1onop- oly, the Legislature may provide for the establishment or discontinuance of cemeteries and may regulate their use, so long as the first consideration is the protection of the health and weli-be- Ing of the people; and this 1egisla- tive power may be delegated to a municipal corporation.
 {. Same;-Where. 1t will likely be- come a nuisance, a municipal corpora tion may prohibit the opening or con tinuance of a cemetery: but it is with out authority to prohibit one from devoting his lands to cemetery pur- poses In a sparsely settled locality, al- though within police Jurisdiction. ur- less burials therein will likely impair the public health
 ?. Municipal corporations; ordinances: validity; presumption An ordinance not void on its face is presumed te pc valid and reasonable. and where It's validity is dependent on facts the party relying on It's invalidity must aver and prove the facts making fl so.
 6. Injunction; restraining and en- forcing of ordina noes; prohibiting cem. eteries. The ordinance made 1t un- lawful to use any cemetery within de. scribed limits. which ordinance was sought to be declared invalid as an arbitrary discrimination against a person who owned land within the linn. It's wherein cemeteries were prohibit. ed. The evidence showed that the orainage from the cemetery did moi run over the premises of those adjoIn. ing; that the cemetery was closer ts sno S.ty than the other cemetery, and that 1t was separate from the oth CT by a highway and that there were ousel between the highway and the ceme. tery; that many houses were built nearer to the cemetery prohibited thar the other cemetery There was no evi. dence to show that the city had moi adopted the highway as a line for tho purpose of separating cemetery and non-cemetery area, and that the sani. tary conditions might not make 1t dan. gerous to maintain a cemetery on one side thereof. Held: Insufficient ts show that the ordinance prohibiting i, was invalid as discriminatory.
