AN ODD PROECTILE.
How . VenturesOme Missouri Lad
Shot and KILLED = Deer
with q Marble.

There is a boy in Taney county who
has a record which perhaps few, IL any,
old hunters can match. BE killed deer
with a marble. True, the marble was
shot from a gun, but still the occurrence
may be ranked among the most un-
usual of hunting events, says the Kan
sas City Journal.
The lad was out in the woods shoot
ing and had exhausted his supply of
shot. He had put into his muzzle-load-
er, q single-barrel gun of the old pat
tern, q charge of powder, when he dis
covered that his shot pouch was empty.
The boy had in his pocket q marble
which he used as ''taw" in playing the
common game. The marble exactly fit
ted the muzzle of his gun. and, hardly
thinking what might result from the
experiment, the young hunter dropped
the "taw" down on the wadding cover
ing the powder
Strange things happened down in the
Bull Creek hills, and on his way home
the boy came upon q deer, which at
close range stopped and challenged his
aim. The adventurous scion of good
hunting stock leveled his gun, pulled
the trigger and brought down the game,
the marble boring hole into the vitala
of the deer.
