D., and as a last resort the city council held a meeting and took action. The braying of the donkey kept many people away at night, and after they had Ion1 so much sleep that they lost their tempers those affected sent a petition to the city council asking that the donkey be eliminated. The city council deliberated over the matter for some time, and then took a vote, which proved that the council was evenly divided on the question as to whether the donkey was a nuisance or not.' JMayor Lyons, to break the deadlock', cast the desiding ballot which declared the donkey a public nuisance, and the council now has demanded of the own, er, C. H. Grange, that the offending donkey be exiled from Vermilion and not permitted to step foot within the city limits. Prinz Oakar Rhaetla Philadelphia. 6,026 6,600 Newport News.
