"One Killed As Auto Plunges Over Highway"
Francis A. Stowell, aged 47, was instantly killed Tuesday evening when an automobile which he was driving dropped 22 feet into a wash in Live Oak canyon. His wife and baby daughter and George Walser, bishop of the Latter Day Saints, were painfully though not seriously injured as a result of the same accident.
The injured were removed to the Miami-Inspiration hospital, later being removed to their homes. The party was en route from Miami to the Inspiration camp when the fatal accident occurred, they having planned to visit the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Sims.
The deceased was a carpenter and miner, having been employed by several mining companies in the district. The cause of the accident has not been ascertained.
The deceased was found hanging from the car, his left foot jammed by the bent steering wheel, his head hanging near the running board. the top of his skull had been completely severed.
A coroner's jury was empaneled by Justice of the Peace McKenzie and the remains were removed to the Miles undertaking parlors. That all other occupants escaped death is a miracle, as all were violently shaken by the accident and rendered unconscious.
Mr. Stowell is survived by his wife, an 18-month-old daughter, a brother, B. Stowell of Thatcher, a nephew, E. Stowell of Lower Miami, and two nieces.
