Rounded Up.
The formal proceedings in the case Of
young DR.. Bernheim in the police court
are becoming volumnous like those in the
great mining suits in the district court.
The doctor is in the police court NEST on
q charge of fast driving. He is repre-
Eented legally by Attorneys Mediation &
tCotter, who are in the records as his
counsel, but he is conducting his own
case.
When arraigned to plead a couple OF
days ago he took the statutory two days
Grace. This morning he pleaded not
guilty and entered a demurrer to the
complaint against him. The demurrer
alleged that the complaint against the
physician does not state facts sufficient
TO constitute a public offense; nor facts
SUFFICIENT to constitute violation of the
ordinance supposed to have been frac-
tured by the doctor and his fast team,
nor any ordinance. This document is a
purely formal measure taken to gain
time. strictly following the polite lines
adopted by the legal tacticians who make
the big suits famous.
As a rule, the police court wears an
easy, informal, go-as-you- please air, but

The judge put on his spectacles, coughed
twice and developed an aspect of judicial
solemnity while he considered the mat

The date was fixed at 10 o'clock next
Tuesday morning. When the demurrer
has been disposed Of thhe trial of the
doctor will be held, unless some other
tactical move is made in the fast-becom-
ing celebrated case. Pools on whether
the doctor will be fined of not may be
arranged now.

of his better half, who did not appreciate
certain talk and behavior Of his. He
pleaded not guilty and his case was set
for Friday at 3 p. M.

built the first house in Denver, the
troubles which got him into Jail arose
over his views about the habits of his
