CAUGHT the Policeman

All the countryside is laughing at an
experience of the police at Tough
Neagh, Ireland. An intercounty cock
fight was arranged between birds from
Londonderry and Antrim and was held
on one of the islands In the Tough.
The police got wind of it and arrived,
as they usually do late. All the availa-
bic boats had been pressed into use by
the spectators, and the police, after
trying vainly to secure transportation
to the island, determined to swim for
1t. Just as they arrived the bout ended
and every boat put off for the main
land again. The police had a swim
back for their pains. and when they
reached the mainland they found that
their clothing, over which they had neg
lected to leave a guard, had disappear
ed. They had a ten mile march in
dripping underclothes to the nearest
barracks, where they were put to bed
until new uniforms could be procured
