 from Municipal Court.

Inc question of whether a party 1o a civil suit in the municipal court IS entitled to trial by jury was raised yesterday when the case of Miss Mable l'all and Mrs. W. E. Lambeth vs. E. |. Mead and Pine Bluff Press Eagle was taken up. Jurors had already been summoned when E. W. Brock man, attorney for the defndants, aris- ed tn epoint that under the act estab- lShlng the municipal court the plan tI11s were not entitled to tria, zv jury. Municipal Judge Earl Wood sustain ca the motion, Whereupon H. Kemp loney, attorney for plaintiffs. applied to Circuit Judge W. B. Sorrells for a "i1t o1 mandamus to compel the mum lolpal Judge to grant trial by jury In petition will be heard on May 20.
 Inc suit grows out of subscriD. ton contest conducted recently by the attendants. Plaintiffs charge that they pald S250 with the understanding that the piano was to be awarded them.
 Miss Ruth Williams suit against the same defendants, for possession of piano, she claims was awarded her, was dismissed without prejudice, When defendant testified she is not or legal age. Mr. Toney who also represents Miss Williams, said he Will institute suit for her in the cir cut court for $400, making the same representa- tions.
 The suit of Mrs. G. k. Lytle. .Jr. suing the same defendants for the diff terence between tn advertised value of a ring, offered as prize in the contest, and the actual value. went over until the question of whether a. lltlgant is entitled to jury trial in the municipal court is disposed of on the mandamus hearing.
 Before her suit was dismissed with out prejudice" Miss Williams testified that Mrs. Belle Adams, her aunt. had told her after the contest that s40O had been placed in the ballot box in her name, and that her aunt who was employed at { he Press Eagle. became angry with witness when the latter refused to give B. c. Mead. one or The defendants, receipt for the piano or $400. Witness said she had not received the piano nor the s4O0, and that her aunt later removed from the house.
