and sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars or serve eleven months in the 
chain gang.  Mr. Clem Towles paid the fine and Hammond was put under contract

charges were sustained, and Hammond will be required to serve the remainder of 
his sentence in the chain gang.  His time will expire on the 17th of December.
