Tain-l'Hermitage. -- The flying saucers made a victim in the night of Thursday, Mr. Neyret, farmer in Tain-L'Hermitage, that one of his neighbors had mistaken for a Martian.
In the dark, 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 blows on poor Mr. Neyret who has a torn off ear and has found himself obliged to consult a doctor.
