Hickman Nebraska: a one horse town as long as Peter Rabbit stays

A 32-year-old brown Morgan-quarter horse crossbreed named Peter Rabbit lives in a pasture in Hickman, a town of about 1,000 just south of Lincoln, Nebraska.

With houses having sprung up around Peter Rabbit's pasture, Mayor Jim Hrouda and five of the six City Council members are determined to enforce the livestock ban.

Shortly after a council meeting Tuesday, the horse's owner, 76-year-old Harley Scott, was served an eviction notice that orders the animal off the land.

Scott said he has no intention of complying with the Sept. 15 deadline. He faces the prospect of being fined up to $100 a day if he's convicted of violating the ordinance.
