It is reported that the woman wanted to drive and that she and Davis both had their hands ' on the wheel whe it leaped from the road to the depths. She and the other two men jumped from the car, prac tically unhurt, but Davis was carried down the bank and was seriously hurt, the car turning over several times in its mad journey. Dr. Gardner soon passed and took the injured man to an Asheville. hospital where he re ceived attention, but little hope was held out for his recovery. His family were sent for Mon day but before they reached the hospital Mr. Davis was dead.
