Image 1 January 1, 1887 In an altercation which took place at a ball at the residence of Mr. Thos. B. Fontenot in Anse Belair, near Ville Plate, on Christmas night, two young men, Yves Berza and Olivier B. Fontenot, were severely wounded. Almost before the bystanders were aware that a difficulty was in progress, these young Hotspurs flew at each other, and with their knives proceeded to carve their respective anatomies into a variety of fantastic shapes, inflicting several ghastly wounds which may result fatally in both cases.
