St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA) 1890-1921, Image 1 December 13, 1890

Last Sunday night, in Chataignier, Ferjus Fontenot was at Fabius Vidrine's. 
When about to go home, he went to get his horse hitched near by, while some 
one waited to hand him some bundles. As he did not return, the person waiting 
went after him, and found him lying near his horse, complaining of severe pain 
in his abdomen. He was taken on a man's back to a neighbor's, and had warm 
bricks and bottles applied to him. He still complained of severe pain in the 
abdomen, and drank a toddy for relief; he died almost instantly. It is 
supposed that his horse kicked him.
