Sandersville Progress
  Friday night the earth caved in under the stable used by the city for mules 
owned by the city, and it was decided by the authorities to kill the mule which 
fell in, rather than attempting to draw him out.
  There was a hollow under the surface and there was a drop of several feet. 
This stable had been used by J.E. Peddy during the past winter while he was 
dealing in mules, but there was no indication of a collapse of the surface 
until the accident occurred Friday night.
  Previously there has been sinks in the earth not far from where this accident 
occurred, supposed to have been caused by lime formations that had been washed 
out by rain.
