Lafayette Man Accidently Kills Self.

Gustave Duhon, father of Coroner J. O. Duhon, died at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday 
afternoon as a result of a gun-shot wound accidently inflited (sic) earlier in 
the day as he was attempting to go through a fence on his plantation near Ridge, 
in the Second ward. Mr. Duhon had left his residence early in the morning to 
investigate damage done to his crops by hogs the past few days, and carried 
along with him a high-powered rifle.

In crossing his field he attempted to go through a wire fence and in some manner 
the gun was discharged. The bullet entered his right shoulder and ploughed its 
way through his body to the left shoulder.

Mr. Duhon was well known and highly esteemed throughout the parish as a 
progressive farmer and good citizen and his death came as a distinct shock to 
his wide circle acquaintances. He was 65 years old. - Lafayette Gazette.
