A Wonderful Boomerang Shot

Yellow teak wood, when made in the form of a boomerang, is an effective hunting weapon. But even in Australia, the home of the boomerang, few white, men know how to handle the deadly curved stick. Henry Edgren, the Australian hammer-thrower, is an expert boomerang handler, and can bring down most any flying thing at a fairly short range. The latest achievement of this kind was made down on Staten island reeently when Edgren not only succeeded in bringing to earth a depredating crow, but severed lts head completely from its body, having previously made a wager that he could accomplish this remarkable feat. The bird's head was as neatly cut from the body as if a knife had slashed it.
