AUTO PLUNGES OVER
12OO-FT. PREC|P|CE

Particulars regarding the auto acci-
dent on the Tioga road. news of which
filtered into Carson yesterday, indi-
Gates that but one man lost his life
and that the accident was caused by
his unfamiliarity with the machine
he was driving.
The man who was killed was from
Los Angeles and named Bernheim.
With companion, who owned the
auto-a Ford-they were returning
to the Yosemite Valley from Mono
lake and on reaching the big water
falls near Levine creek, Bernheim
suggested to his companion that he
take a picture of him in the machine
that he might show the scene to mis-
wife on his return to Los Angeles.
The machine was turned at right
angles with the road, headed so
that it faced the rim of the grade.
The companion got out of the ma
chine and the picture was taken.
Bernheim then attempted to get the
auto back in position. His purpose
was to reverse, but instead he threw
the gear into forward and before he
could realize and correct his fatal
error he and the machine both
plunged over the precipice, the ma
chine going to the bottom of the
gorge, distance of more than 1900
feet, and Bernheim's body landing on
shelf of rocks about 500 feet
below.
The accident. according to the
story of tourists arriving in Carson
City yesterday morning, happened
Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock
and the body of Bernheim was re-
covered Thursday. They stated that
Bernheim's companion, whose name
was not learned, said that Bernheim
was used to a Dodge car and prob
ably became confused when he es-
sayed to handle the levers that con-
troll a Ford.
