 ment in Progress.

The suit of J. s. Reap vs. the Pine Bluff company for $2,000 was tried before a jury in the Jefferson circuit court yesterday.
 At 10 o'clock last night a verdict had not been reached, and Judge Grace permitted the jurors to go home for the night, with orders to appear again this morning.
 Reap sued for $2,O0O, claimed as damages alleged to have been sustain ed by reason of injuries he claimed to have suffered when a buggy in which he was riding was hit by a street car on November 8, 1914, at the intersection of Second avenue and 1n- diana street. The plaintiff contended he was slightly hurt on the knee and that he had suffered nervous break down as a result of the mishap. The defense was that MT. Recl contribut- ed to the accident by failing to exer- else proper care, driving with the top of the buggy up and swerving across the track so suddenly as to make it impossible for the motorman to bring the car to a stop before striking the vehicle.
 The suit of Anna Converse vs. St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railway, an action for alleged dam ages because of personal injuries, set for trial yesterday, was continued by consent.
