February 27, 1890 – Iron County Register School teacher Gouvreau, of the Kinsey district, Ste. Genevieve county, switched two pupils for fighting, one day last week.  The same night he attended a dance in the neighborhood, and the father and “big brothers” of the boys assaulted him with clubs and knives.  He was a finely carved specimen of humanity when they got through with him, but he will probably survive.  The penitentiary ought to yearn for the assaulters, and we hope it will right speedily.
