Pick strike and horse incident at Pine street site
Foreman Watson struck railroad worker J. D. Hammock in the face with a heavy pick during demolition work on the Rummey buildings on Pine street. Hammock suffered a severe wound and loss of sight in one eye after the blow. Watson claimed Hammock interfered with laborers. Hammock denied provoking the attack. A horse on Washington street then slipped forty feet after a thunderstorm, but no major injuries occurred. The Coca Cola bottling business report shows Albany’s Albany Coca-Cola Bottling Co ranking twelfth in 1905 and by May 1, 1906 with strong sales growth.
