Benny Frank Davis

  Benny Frank Davis, 26, of Benson, was fatally injured Jan. 6,
one half mile north of Zwolle. Davis was traveling north on U. S.
171, in a '67 Oldsmobile Sedan, at a high rate of speed. He
passed another vehicle on the right side, lost control of the car
in the rain, ran into the ditch on the left side of the road, and
hit the ditch embankment broadside. The car traveled 56 feet
through the air, and landed on its top.

  Davis was pronounced dead at the scene by Sabine Parish Deputy
Coroner, Dr. J. Lane Sauls.

  Investigating officer, State Police Sgt. Wingate Dowden said the
only other passenger in the car received only minor injuries.
