HARD CIDER D|D~H
Cause Of Albert Bere's Latest
Downfall Attributed to Sour
Apple Juice.

A tale which was unfolded in Judge
Otterness' court Monday may lead to
some interesting developments. Hard
cider dispensed at we'll known Item.
persnce" resort Is said to be respon.
sible for the latest downfall of at
least one OF the city's residents.
Albert Berg, who has already gain
ed some reputation as an offender,
stood before His Honor in Judge OF
terness' court and pleaded guilty to a
charge preferred by one of our guard
ians OF the peace. He had been "taken
In" for drunkenness on Saturday
night and given lodging over Sunday.
On Monday his story was told In
justice court, and AZ he pleaded guilty
of his improper conduct he was re-
leased upon the payment Of the custom
ary fine.
Berg claims hard cider was the
cause of his undoing. At least his
condition when found by police Off
Ger Saturday night was such as to
indicate that he had come in contact
with something "hard.' Through his
admission before the court the bars
were let open for another arrest, and
yesterday John Thompson was taken
in tow and given chance to explain
something regarding the hard cider.
It was claimed by Berg that he had
secured the stuff that tripped him up
from Thompson at the Benson avenue
resort, where the latter is supposed to
be dishiug out soft drinks. The case
was set for hearing tomorrow, and
with Berg as the complaining witness
an opportunity will be given to tel
the complete story and throw furthe,
light upon the sour apple juice thai
was responsible for the latter's in
toxicated condition.
