 Mrs LeBaron. wife of pr. Charles Le- Baron of Gulfport has filed suit in the circuit court of Hinds county against the Jackson Electric Railway company for s25.G0o on account of personal injuries received last November while she was on visit to this city.
 The declaration sets forth that Mrs LeBaron was on the street car en route to the depot to take the train for Gulf port, that the car stopped at the depot and when she started to get on the car gave a sudden jerk throwing her heavily to the ground and injuring her spinal column in such a way that she will never again be a we'll woman.

MOVING PICTURES.

A suit to enjoin moving picture

The show company advertised that
they would conduct shows at their

being notified by the law officers that
they would be arrested for the offense
Of Sabbath breaking il they did so,
they thereupon made no charge for adj
mittance in order to evade the criml-
nal laws in that respect. 1t was al
legged that the performances were
legally and morally wrong, that they
would bring together a lawless and
turbulent assembly of persons, and
such performances constituted public
nuisance. 1t appears that on the first
Sunday there was protrayed by THESE
pictures the life Of Damon and Pythias.

sacred songs and music. and on the
following Sunday night the show was
of a similar character. The supreme
court of Arkansas holds that the evil
dence shows that neither the pictures,
songs. nor music was immoral or OBJ
jectionable in any regard, and that the
vital question is whether or not the
acts complained of were Of such ma
ture as a court, in the exercise of a
chancery jurisdiction, would restrain.
The court answers that equity will not
issue an injunction to restrain an act
constituting crime simply because it is
criminal and. altho the act may be
criminal and also a nuisance. 1t will
not be restrained where the state has
suffered no prOperty loss
