The framed victim in the wager on foot race was a highway or road worker, who bet Hamilton five dollars that George (Bunk) McKinney could beat Hamilton in a foot race. In order to beat the such, Hamilton and McKinney had an agreement that Ham- Iton should win', and of course he did. Then "Bunk" wanted half of the winning.

Hamilton, having received the money from the stateholder, 'refused to split it with McKinney. There were hot words, and Hamilton knocked McKinaey down with a beer bottle after which he threw the bottle on the ground. Then Silas Cheek, age 14, a half brother of McKinney, picked up the bottle and "cold-cocked" Hamilton, in the vernacular of the street. In other words, the boy beat up Hamilton, with a beer bottle, to a finish. A doctor was called for Hamilton, who patched up his face, chin and jaw.

Hamilton was, however, able to be out yesterday. It was, according to witnesses, a case of one man starting a fight, and a boy finishing it with the same empty beer bottle as a weapon of mighty force. A Game Law Violation.
