Well Known Farmer Killed By Horse.

Mr. Alcide Dupre, a prosperous farmer of Prairie Rond met with a terrible 
accident on Tuesday evening: this young farmer was kicked by his horse on 
the side, dying the next morning.

Mr. Dupre was but a young man, being scarcely over forty years of age, but 
during his short life his every deed and action were stepping stones to 
success, he had not amassed a great fortune, but what he had was there and 
that was plenty for his need. He was a peaceful citizen and the Prairie 
Ronde people will miss him a great deal.

It was indeed a fatal accident which was the cause of the death of this 
gentleman. For some unknown reason the horse got furiated and kicked Mr. 
Dupre in his side, below the liver. Medical aid was immediately gotten, but 
nothing could be done, the victim of the tragedy expiring at three o'clock 
on Wednesday morning.

Additional Comments:
Note: Alcide Dupre is buried at Saint Andrews cemetery located in Plaisance, 
St. Landry Parish, LA.
