Boomerang to Kill Ducks.

An American hunter who carries boomerangs Instead of a repeating shotgun is a curiosity, but Vernon Tantllnger, a St. Joseph, Mo., nimrod, uses the Australian war weapon when he goes after ducks. -Tantllnger is an expert with the boomerang and recently bagged 12 ducks with eight, throws of his club. Tantlinger says that as the statutes do not prohibit the use of boomerangs he can hunt within the city -limits whenever he can find game. His mode of action In killing wild ducks is to throw one boomerang into a filock when it Is on the water, and when the birds rise he is ready to hurl another stick into the flock as it is bunched upon the wing.—New York World.
