The New Era Humeston, Wayne, Iowa March 22, 1899 THE NEWS IN IOWA An Old Man Assaulted DUNLAP, March 16 - An aged farmer named Schrivalier, living four miles in the country, who had been in town during the day, was assaulted by Jim Mitchell, Arch Wood, and Ervin Mige, all young men about 21 years of age. The affair seems to have occurred at William Mige's livery stable while the old man was getting his horse to return to his home in the country. When he became unconscious Schrivalier's assailants dragged him into the barn, and, throwing a blanket over him, left him. He was found in the morning, still unconscious, and almost frozen to death. The assailants are under arrest. Schrivalier may die.

Checking the Harrison obituary index on site there is a Mr. Chevalier listed and year of death 1899......... Unable to locate the name in census records for Harrison County.
