From the Lafayette Advertiser
Saturday May 17, 1890	pg 5 Col 3

    We have again to record one of those sad accidents were death comes 
sudden on the heels of mirth.  Sunday as Mr. Alcide Prejean, about 18 yrs 
of age, (son of Mr. Sosthene Prejean) was returning horseback from 
mass at St. Pierre.  In company with a few companions, the came across 
a calf, and thought they would have some fun chancing it.   Unfortunately, 
the calf tangled itself under Mr. Prejean’s horse’s feet, throwing the 
horse over on top of him and breaking his neck.   His father’s family 
have our sympathy in this unexpected and terrible accident.
