Lager beer

--however popular as a beverage — often gets its imbibers into trouble. Yesterday morning Henry Lepkar was before the Mayor to answer the charge of assaulting and beating Henry Beckman, the keeper of a saloon. After taking a few mugs of the malt liquor, Lepkar had words with Beckman, threw half a mug of beer into his face, and then smashed the mug over his head. Of course, Beckman tried to defend himself, and to preserve order in his house, and therefore the assault. Lepkar was held to ball for his future good behavior, which he readily gave, and was then discharged.
