Hammack, met with a serious misfortune about Tuesday afternoon, which resulted in his ankle being broken. He was helping haul hay from the Rayl farm when the wagon capsized. He jumped but in some manner a ladder struck the ankle, breaking the bone. He was brought to town and Dr. Orrick set the broken bone. Indications are that no serious complications will set in and that Floyd will suffer no permanent injury.
