Deputy Pearce Feeds seven-mile ride to mine snake rescue
Deputy Sheriff Kenneth Pearce of Maricopa County rode seven miles on horseback to reach a mine. He crawled into the tunnel, shot a rattlesnake, then retreated after locating a fresh cave in. The snakebite danger and lack of medical care led to abandoning further exploration. Sheriff Ernest W. Roach said the search would not continue without new leads.
