Rescue Operation Nearly Fatal for Horse
A 4 year old horse owned by TAD-Delbert Igo fell into a 35 foot deep well on Tuesday. Bob Morris' Wrecker Service in Charleston winched the horse out using a rope over the shoulders and, after 15 minutes of artificial respiration, the animal stood briefly on its feet. Veterinarian F E Hersey warns the horse remains in danger of dying from the dunking, and notes the rope loop around the horse's neck nearly choked it during the lift.
