May 4, 1928
Prince Erik of Denmark "has abandoned definitely his temporary and rather prosaic role of chicken farmer" and is now returning to Denmark with his Canadian-born wife and their year-old daughter, Alexandra. The family was heading east by train aboard the Union Pacific.
All of his personal effects and two automobiles were shipped "east several weeks ago," reported the Los Angeles Times.
The Prince's departure was "as inauspicious as his arrival here in 1924," after the ranch had been purchased by his in-laws, Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Booth, as a wedding present.
The "royal rancher" arrived in May 1924, and was welcomed by 6000 chickens and the "flock of newspaper reporters" on his doorstep. He kept to his ranch, apart from the visit of Crown Prince Gustav Adolph of Sweden two years ago when he "joined in the festivities tendered toward the visiting Crown Prince."
Prince Erik, in abandoning America, "can look back on his short career," with having run the gauntlet of American existence - his house was robbed once, he paid a speed fine, had a bunch of chickens stolen, and a bunch of Kodak hounds always haunting his doorstep."
