When the police station was at last reached the thick-set man made a charge of assault against the manager and Brown was compelled perforce to make a similar charge against his adversary.

Then both were locked up to await a hearing the next morning in the magistrate's court, when, after a prolonged examination, Brown was discharged with an admonition against a too free indulgence in alcoholic liquors.
"Don't be hard on him, judge," said the bull-jawed man.

"I had no trouble in defending myself.

I think he has had lesson enough." Much the worse for wear, Mr.Brown passed out of the court-room, only to be confronted on the sidewalk by a marshal with a warrant for his arrest.

It was Monday morning.
