Will Peter Rabbit the Horse be evicted from Hickman, Nebraska?

Settled as No

The horse is still grazing
http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=2798&u_sid=10433900

Background:

There's only one horse left in the town of Hickman, Nebraska, an old fella named Peter Rabbit. And his days in town may be numbered. The city council has voted to ban horses for the city limits, which means that Peter Rabbit will have to hoof it out of town by September 15. Will he be leaving the only pasture he's ever known?

Settlement details: Question will settle as "no" if Peter Rabbit is still within the city limits of Hickman, Nebraska on September 16, 2008. As reported by a major mainstream news source.
