Watch Out For The Naked Guy!

Once again I am stuck by what turns up in old newspapers! The May 12, 1924 Los Angeles Times had a small article about Frank O. Crogor. Pedley residents reported him to the Sheriff's office because he was strolling down the road wearing, well, what the newspaper called "Nature's Own Garb." Isn't that a great way of saying the man was buck naked? When two sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene, Crogor was redressed in everything but his shoes. The sixty-three year old man admitted he had been strolling in the buff, but said is was necessary because it helped his heart disease! Crogor had been camping out in the Pedley area for about two weeks. The deputies took him to jail for fear he would disrobe once again. Now, any of you out there with heart disease, I don't want you to get any ideas from Mr. Crogor!
