Show MANYDUCKS AREjAGGED Hunters West of the City Kill Hundreds of the .Toothsome Birds, The valley to the west of the city looked like an army waia camped there on Friday night Almost every man In the cjty who loves the gentle sport of ' duck bunting donned his shooting clothes and departed westward yester-iVay yester-iVay afternoon and evening and tha Vionflres along the various waterways In the valley showed where they were. . With the flrat peep of dawn tha bombardment bom-bardment commenced and for an hour It sounded Vke a battle and a fierce one - at that The morning flight waa most satisfactory and from every point of vantage tha huntera tumbled -'their feathered prey out of the air. The hunt-.'ers hunt-.'ers who remained only for the morning flight say 'that the sport was fine and that the ducka were there by the thousands thou-sands to be got If the skill of the marksman marks-man was equal to the task.' Comparatively Compara-tively few, however, came in at once as the fascination proved too strong. It is hardly expected, however, that there will be much sport during the day as the weather la too bright and fair, not even a strong wind helping to keep the flight of the feathered ones low. Many a househeld In this city, however, ' will rejoice in lroast duck tomorrow. 1 |
