(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
This is the most appropriate headline for this article. A "clue" describes helpful information, or information which provides insight or knowledge to a puzzle or problem. If police are "clueless", then they have no idea or indications about how or why something happened. This article describes a fight or altercation in which one person was struck or hit with a bottle. A "beating" describes a physical assault.
This headline isn't appropriate. The article states that the police have not "solved" (resolved or figured out) what happened at the bar in San Francisco. A "mystery" describes a puzzle, an enigma, or something "unknown". To write that police have "solved the mystery", or "discovered what happened" wouldn't be accurate.
This headline isn't appropriate. Although this information is true according to the article, it doesn't summarize the main subject of the article. This information is a minor detail within the bigger story of a crime.
This headline isn't appropriate. This story is actually about a dispute or argument which came about because of a television program, so to write that bar patrons "gathered" (assembled or came together) to watch television "peacefully" (without conflict or violence) isn't accurate.
