Those two intrepid wild animal trainers of the Norwood police force, Officers Donnell and Folan, were called upon over last weekend to prove once again that as snarers of either wild or domestic animals they are the tops in their chosen specialty. Perhaps we shouldn't say chosen specialty, but, to say the least, they saw their duty and they did it again.
This time it was two porkers who were cavorting about a public street, evidently celebrating the fact that they escaped the Thanksgiving chopping block which proved to be the nemesis of many of their brethren. The call that sent Donnell and Folan into action came from the residence of Mrs. Mary Hennessey of 97 Cross Street who informed the police that two of her pigs were roaming the neighborhood and that she was unable to get them to return to their pen.
Just how the officers induced the two porkers to return to their domestic domicile is a trade secret and the two pigs won't squeal. Officers on the Brighton police force, where there is located a large abbattoir have had plenty of practice rounding up stray animals and if officers Donnell and Folan ever decide to move to Brighton they can hire on aa experienced hands with little difficulty.
