Golden History Moment
84 Years Ago – Wells, Cesspools, and Rattlesnakes
The March 10, 1938 Colorado Transcript described the harrowing rescue of a very unlucky (and yet lucky!) horse. The article is short, so here it is, in its entirety:
The Golden Fire Department was called out Saturday afternoon to the home of Mrs. M. E. Porter, who resides on the Meyer ranch at the foot of Green mountain, when a horse, “Smokey,” belonging to Mrs. Porter, fell in an abandoned well.
The horse jumped a fence and landed on the cement covering of the well which caved-in under him. The horse fell feet first to the bottom of the well, a drop of 30 feet. A derrick belonging to the Colorado Central Power company, was used to hoist the animal out of the well. He was not injured. The same horse was pulled out of a cesspool at Morrison some time ago.
Ray McCloskey of Pleasant View climbed to the bottom of the well to attach the derrick chains to the horse, and in his descent came upon a nest of diamond back rattlesnakes.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
