Youngest Hunter to Hold License is Durbin Bowser.

Chesterton Tribune. Durbin Bowser expects to make a record during his stay at the river. The little fellow is only six years old, but' is a member of the Gary Gun Club, the winner of a number of prizes at shooting contests, and the youngest holder of a hunter’s license in the state. It came about this way. He was out with the game warden and had his rifle. Seeing some turtles, he began poking them off, one by one, until he had five of them laid out. The warden had been watching him, and had missed the turtles himself. “Hera young man, you get a license, if you are going to stay around here. Do you think I am going to let you loose around these wood duck next week, with a gun and a gun-eye like that? I guess not.” So Durbin held up his dad for the dollar, and soon came back with a receipt from the warden which read: • Hebron, Ind., Aug. 29, 1913. “Received of Durbin Bowser, SI.OO for resident hunters’ license. John H. Randall. So Durbin is out for his money’s worth this week.
