AN OLD FRIEND
Baron Rogniat, Of Ancient PANE, Meets With
Disaster In Paris

Baron Rogniat, Of Ancient PANE, Meets With
Disaster In Paris
There are many residents in the city
and vicinity who will be interested
in hearing the latest news regarding
the Baron Rogniat, who cut wide
swath, for time, in the business and So
ciety circles Of Los Angeles.
The latest batch Of Paris papers made
mention of the fact that while Baron
Rogniat was driving in an automotor
car, in company with Conte Dillon of
Boulangist fame, in the Bois de Bologne,
an accident occurred to the car and the
Baron was very seriously wounded, and
it is not certain that he will survive his
injuries.
For some time past Baron Rogniat has
been posing as a kind Of aristocratis en-
igration agent in Paris and has been
persuading young fellows that if they
would only come to California, though
they might have to rough it, in de-
lightful way, they could make some Sc
a day picking strawberries. Conte Dill
lon, the companion of the baron at the
time of the accident in the Bois, shared
the exile from France Of Boulanger and
Rochefort, and was in Brussels when
the former came to his tragic end.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The Pacific train was on it's third day out
when the man in the gray suit became rest

Gagged lion. erumbled because a baby cried
and made audible remarks about the
weather. Finally he stopped in front of a

mind myself little thing like that, but
there is a minister on the car, and I'm not
certain it would be advisable. anyway"
The man in the gray suit sat down at a
window of the car and sulked. Presently
he said to his neighbor opposite:
The country is going to the dogs!"
Goodness alive, man. what makes you
think so!' asked the surprised traveller.
Why, look at the farm house we are
passing. every man. woman and child sit
ting idly at the doors. There's a farmer

men loafing around. while the corn stands
in the fields and the potatoes are not dug.
