the state failed to reveal the whereabouts of the nomad
mule.
It remained for lineman, perched lofty pole, to
locate the absentee. Discovered by him browsing in
some nearby Brush the capture Of the mule seemed,
theoretically speaking an easy proposition But the
mule had been exercising his sefadopted franchise too
long to voluntarily subscribe to acceptance of Of
the restrictions which the approaching lnean clearly
intended to impose. There were moments it was said
