Local Heroes (continued)
“About thirty years ago John O'Driscoll Tubrid called "Brown Jack" had a very cross sow and no one could put rings on her and she had all the doors of his outhouses broken.”
(continued from previous page)the sow was all the time running. O'Driscoll who did not know what the boy meant to do followed him. He met a man in the middle of the Round Road of whom he inquired if he saw his boy and the sow. The man replied he met something like a motor car at the bottom of Thyse. That was how he described the speed of the sow with the boy on her back.
