A Drunken Christmas in San Francisco

"Merry Christmas" was celebrated by the police of San Francisco by pulling in 127 drunks. And the receiving hospital of that city had to patch up the broken legs, arms, noses, jaws, ribs, skulls, scalps, and various other cut, bruised, mangled, lacerated, and contused places. How many other legions of drunks and bruises there were, no one knows. One man was shot who will probably die from the wound. The city of Oakland was content with the booking of 26 drunks.
