MAN is TIRED OF AMERICA
Minneapolis Delivery Wagon Driver
Charges That His Employer Vio-
lated the immigration Law.

Minneapolis James Fenion were
an artist, an actor or an opera singer
he would not have recourse to the
courts, but he declares through his
attorney that he is simply delivery
wagon driver and therefore feels he
should be deported and should receive
q $1,000 judgment from his employer.
1t Is the first case in the history or
federal Jurisprudence in Minnesota
where anyone has asked for deporta-
ton.
Fenion, through his attorney, has
brought complaint in federal court
against ]. c. Wilson, charging viola
ton of the immigration act. The
complaint declares that in 1911 Wilson
induced Fenion to migrate from his
home in Greenock, Scotland, to the
United States, promising that If he
would come to Minneapolis he would
give him job as delivery wagon
driver at $12 week. According to
the complaint, 1t was understood the
transportation expenses were to be
paid back out of Fenion's wages
Fenion, however, is said to have be-
com" dissatisfied and has brought suit
under the law whereby none but
actors, opera singers or artists may be
brought into the country under such
| labor agreement without violation
the immigration laws.

KILLS DUCKS BY BOOMERANG
Sportman Says He Basged Twelve on
Eight Throws-HurIs One Into
Water, Another as Flock Rises.

st. Joseph, Moan American hun
ter who carries boomerangs instead
of a repeating shotgun is a curiosity,
but Vernon Tantlinger, local nimrod,
uses the Australian war weapon when
he goes after ducks.
Tantlinger Is an expert with the
boomerang and recently bagged
twelve 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 flock when it is on the water, and
when the birds rise he is ready to hurl
another stick into the flock as 1t Is
punched upon the wing.
