from his home on the road North West of town, he asked to have the car stopped 
and he would walk  across to his home. He opened the car door soon after the 
gas was cut off and brakes applied, and before the car came to a stop either 
stepped or fell from the car, striking on his head in the road, the occupants 
of the front seat not knowing he was out until the car stopped, when he was 
discovered lying in the road unconsiouse several feet behind the car.
 Dr. J.N. Davis was summoned and when he was found to be bleeding from the 
ears, he advised that he be taken to the hospital at Twin Falls, where he died 
Tuesday afternoon with out regaining conciousness. He was about 62 years old.
