July 8, 1883, Wednesday Page 1, 84 words NEW-ORLEANS, July 7.--News has just been received of the suicide at Frausse Point, in Iberia Parish, of Eloi Broussard, at the-age of 94 years. He was a staunch old citizen of the Acadian stock, and had for many years been a legal light in that section. Within the past few months he had become broken down in health, and the fear that he would become a helpless charge upon his great-grandchildren led him to take his own life, which he did by hanging.
