A brave peasant
mistaken for a Martian
gets a caning
in the Drôme

Tain - l'Hermitage, 4. -- The flying saucers made a victim this night, Mr. Neyret, farmer in Tain-L'Hermitage, whom one of his neighbors had mistaken for a "Martian."

In the darkness, his neighbor, a winegrower, had seen a silhouette which seemed "extraordinary" to him. "He's a Martian," he said to himself, he armed himself with a stick and struck redoubled hits on poor Mr. Neyret, who has an torn away ear and had to consult a doctor.
