Dies from Kick of Horse. - Desire Poirrier, a well-known resident of Smoke 
Bend, died at his home in that settlement at 12:55 o'clock last Monday 
morning, from the effects of injuries sustained by being kicked in the 
abodomen (sic) by a horse. The accident occurred June 24. Mr. Poirrier had 
gone to the cistern in his yard to get a bucket of water, and was passing 
behind a horse belonging to a neighbor, Florian Arceneaux, when the animal 
became excited and commenced kicking. One of the hoofs struck Mr. Poirrier 
in the abdomen, causing internal injuries of the intestines, from which 
general peritonitis resulted. Deceased was fifty years of age, and had 
resided in this parish all his life. He is survived by two brothers, Messrs. 
Camille Poirrier, of the city, and Emile Poirrier, of St. James, and one 
sister, Mrs. Dominique Variani, of Donaldsonville.

The funeral took place at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, with services at the 
St. Francis of Assisium Catholic church in Smoke Bend, and interment in the 
local Catholic cemetery.
