FLYNN FLEECED-Denny Flynn, the good hearted policeman, when he drew his last year's salary, purchased two find hogs and put them in a pen and taught them the great art of laughing and growing fat, for dessert giving them a little wind porridge.

Yesterday Denny armed with the necessary tools, proceeded to the pen to slay his Cincinnati animals, when behold, they were missing! And Denny immediately sharpened his little ax and donned his war paint and is now on the hunt of the rascal who deprived him of his winter's bacon and cabbage.
