Boa Constrictor Captured Here: Two days ago a University bus driver killed a rattlesnake in the Botanical Gardens on Dixboro Rd. Yesterday City Patrolman Theodore Ketchum, left, climbed a 40-foot-tall pine tree at 421 Blakely Ct. to capture this five-foot-long boa constrictor. Patrolmen Byrl Racine, center, and Donald Campbell assisted in the capture. Police say the snake may be someone's pet and the reptile will be held for the owner. The snake has been turned over to the Humane Society of Washtenaw County. Officers say the boa apparently had its eye on several small puppies which were in a pen near the pine tree when it was caught.

Wet, frightened, and 18 feet off the ground, this cat's meowings were heard yesterday afternoon by a Third St. passerby, who called the Washtenaw County Humane Society. Herbert Gay, humane officer, made the rescue. Owners of the freed feline collected him an hour later from the society's shelter.
