Mule Rescued From 51 Sink Hole After 40 Hours Missing
Minor Prator's mule near the Morgan Lawrence county line survived a forty hour disappearance and was pulled from a fifty one sink hole on George tt's farm. Thirty seven community men used block and tackle to raise the animal from a four and a half foot ledge and escort it nearly a mile home. Alva Wade confirmed the mule brayed from the pit and that the hole extended deeper with no bottom found. The mule was harnessed for extraction and sustained only scrapes with no broken bones. The pit dropped twenty feet at the opening and sloped sharply for thirty feet making footing impossible.
