The Lafayette Advertiser, Vermilionville, Lafayette Parish, LA. November 28, 1874
     SHOOTING AFFAIR.-Last Wednesday, the 25th, one Eugene Bertrand shot and
severely wounded Jules Gautreau. The shooting occurred on one of the public
roads of this parish whilst a wedding party was returning home from town. It
appears that Bertrand was acting in a manner very unbecoming of a gentleman when
Gautreau rode up to his buggy and began talking to him, when he drew a large
Remington revolver and shot Gautreau.
     Joseph Stutts in attempting to arrest Bertrand had his horse wounded, and
was arrested the same day by deputy sheriff Edgar Mouton and is now in custody.
