enough money as yet to send for his
family. Mrs. Peterson's recital OF

turn to bis former home in Madison,
Wis.,, II the city would furnish him
the necessary transportation. 1t

of about 811 each. Tho council WAS
in the belief that it would
be cheaper to deport them than to
keep them here, and it was ordered.

tion duly seconded and carried, al
