Harry Malcolm, ex-deputy game
warden, sends to the Sun photograph
OF a remarkable nine barrel gun with a
single trigger which has the effec-
tiveness of a Calling gun in slaughter
ing ducks. A single pull of the trig-
ger fires OF all the barrels, and one
discharge is said to have killed 1S9
ducks.
Mr.. Malcolm. assisted by Messrs. r.
H. Cox, W. M. Lyon and Sidney Bar
Der, arrested a party OF hunters who
were using the gun to the great detri-
ment Of the wild duck hunting sport
on the Potomac river Seven men
we're taken along with the gun, which
Is Of type forbidden by law. Mr..
Malcolmn says that ror years they
have been unlawfully killing ducks
and driving others from the Potomac
river and tributary creeks.
The capture of the outfit, he says, is
a great relief to the owners OF lands
in the nelghborhood. With the gun
were captured four sloops, seven big
guns, 100 decoys, seven skiffs, 15O
pounds OF powder and So dead ducks.
