LOST MULE WAILS LIKE A TORTURED
SOUL FOR MASTER And Farmer Railsback Hopes ' Master of Animal Who Gave i v Battle to Traction Car Will Claim Him. WAGON IS IN RUINS: THE OWNER IS LOST Mixup Occurred Late Saturday Night Man Who Lost Horse Calls, but Denies Ownership of "Sad" Jack. Have you lost a mule? There is a stray animal, somewhat scratched as a result of a mill with a traction oar at the Railsback farm on the National road between Rich nond and Centervtlle, whose owner la unknown. The mule has been the. ward of Mr. Railsback since Satur day night but no one has claimed him up to noon today. The spring wagon to which the mule was attached Is now debris. Its remnants are scattered along the Na tlonal road In front of the Railsback farm. But where Is the owner? Wat he pitched Into another planet as a result of the mules argument with the traction car? These are questions asked by Mr. Railsback, who was In Richmond today, without satisfactory answers be ing received. A careful search has7 been made for the owner of the mule but there Is absolutely no trace of him. late Saturday night about a half hour after the accident, Mr. Railsback thought he had located the owner of the mule, tut he was mistaken. He .ljUiereewUX A, man who said he was William Newman of Centervllle, entered the Railsback home and Inquired If any stray animals were being harbored there. "Sure; we hare a lost mule. Is It yours? said Railsback. "No, I lost a horse," disgustedly replied Newman. "I hitched him in front of Tony Walker's place near Centervllle, and when I went to get htm he was gone." Then Newman left to resume his search. What success he met with Is unknown. But to return to the mule. According to Mr. Railsback the mule made quite a dramatic entry Into his estate. After running foul with a traction car the mule was hoisted skyward la the general direction of the Railsback farm. He came in by the front gate, taking It with him. Despite this mishap the mule only received a few slight bruises. The traction car was uninjured. ' The mule Is most disconsolate over the absence of his master and Is bellowing pitifully for him. As the bray of a disconsolate mule Is not what might come under the technical classification of "music" and as the mule cares not at what hour he peals forth his agony, Mr. Railsback hopes that the owner. If living, will lose no time in claiming his property. JACKSON WITH HILL Former Local Attorney General Counsel for the Great Northern Now. HIS CAREER REMARKABLE .

PUTS A VETO OH SHEOJROIIIAIICE Mayor Zimmerman Alleges that the Bill Passed by Council Is Not Legal. CALLS SHEDS DANGEROUS AND CITES A SUPREME COURT DECISION SUPPORTING HIS ACTION COUNCIL MAY - PASS IT OVER VETO. Mayor Zimmerman vetoed the shed ordinance amendment this morning because he said the amendment was il legal and that sheds over sidewalks are dangerous In case of fire. This amendment was before council several months and finally passed, against the advice of the Mayor, three weeks ago, It provides that an ordinance passed In 1889 prohibiting shed awnings from being built over side walks, be amend ed so that sheds may be used on all streets but Main street. In his reasons for the veto Mayor Zimmerman quotes . a supreme court decision, which says only necessary obstructions, as sewers, gas pipes, and shade trees, are legal on Main street. He holds that this clause cuts out shed awnings. The mayor writes: "A long shed not for the purpose of protection of the public Is to be erect ed. The court does not make any distinction as to one street from another. And I would ask, "What's the difference between Main and any other street T How soon until North Ninth, North Eighth, Seventh or Sixth be come busfno8a streets. Richmond is becoming more metropolitan every day and is to be classed with cities, not country towns. Look to the future as to the past. As to consulting with the chief of the fire department with reference to ob struction in case of fire a most Important matter, and further the position of the supreme court decision. In which Is clearly denied the right to make such ordinances I am advising against this act After hearing the reasons for vetoing the ordinance I hope the council will consider the danger it makes by fire to property." When the amendment passed coun cil the vote in favor of It was unani mous and there is said to be little doubt but that the ordinance will pass over the Mayor's veto.
