Law And Rules Regulating Use Of Autos On Highways The number of automobile cases at the present term of the district court has suggested to the Pioneer the advisability of printing a some- what brief abstract of the laws and rules governing the operation of cars on the highways and streets. The Pioneer hopes that what it has done may help to avoid accident and prevent litigation, Every owner of a motor vehicle driven upon the public highways of this state, except fire apparatus, etc., must register his motor vehicle and receive from the secretary of state a tag or plate containing the num- ber of his registration. This tag or number is issued in duplicate and one must be conspicuously displayed on the rear and one on the front of such vehicle and so fastened as to prevent the same from swinging, and the person driving the vehicle must keep this tag or plate free from grease, dust or other blurring ma- terial so as to be plainly visible at all times. This provision does not apply to non-residents, unless such non-resident remains continuously within the state for more than thirty days, in which event he is obliged to register his vehicle and secure the plate in the same manner as if he were a resident owner. Every motor vehicle operated up- on the public highway shall be pro- vided with adequate brakes sufficient to control the vehicle at all times and a suitable, adequate bell, horn or other device for signaling, and shall, during the period from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise display at least two lighted lamps visible from the front and a red light in the rear shedding white rays which shall shine wupon the number plate carried on the rear of such vehicle. No motor vehicle shall be permitted to remain standing on any public street or highway or in the public street of highway unattended at any time with the motor running. Every motor vehicle using gaso- line as a motive power shall use a muffler and the same shall not be cut out or disconnected within the limits of any city or village, or qt the time or passing any horse or ani- mal being lead, driven or ridden. All vehicles, other than motor ve- hieles, shall carry while driven on any public highway between one hour after sunset and one hour before sun- rise a white light visiblz from both front and the rear. A person driving a motor vehicle shall, on signal by raising the hand or by request from a person riding, leading or driving a horse or horses bring such motor vehicle immediately to a stop, and if driving in the oppo- site direction remain stationary so long as may be reasonable to allow such horse or animals to pass, and if driving in the same direction use reasonable caution thereafter passing such horse ¢ animals. In case such horse or animals appear badly fright- ened, or the person operating such motor vehicle is so signaled or re- quested to, such person shall cause the motor of such vehicle to cease running so long as shall be reason- ably necessary to prevent accident and insure the safety of others. Upon approaching a pedestrian who is upon the traveled part of any highway and not upon a sidewalk, and upon approaching an intersect- ing highway or a curve or corner in the highway where the operator’s view is obstructed, every person op- erating a motor vehicle shall slow down and give due signal with his bell or horn or other device for sig- naling; provided, however, that no person shall unreasonably obstruct or impede the. right of travel upon the public highway of the driver of a motor vehicle or of a horse, and any- one so doing shall be guilty of a mis- demeanor. Upon approaching a crossroad out- side the limits of the city or incor- porated village, the operator must slow down the speed of his machine and sound his horn in such a man- ner as to give notice and warning of his approach. A person driving with a horse or team or motor vehicle shall meet’ an- other person driving with a horse, team or motor vehicle, moving in op- posite direction, each person shall slacken his pace if necessary and reasonably turn to the right so as to timely give half of the traveled road if practicable and a fair and equal opportunity to thesother<ito. pass. If they are moving in the same direction, the person overtaking shall pass on the left side of the other and the person overtaken shall, as soon as practicable, turn to the right so (Continued on Page 4) AR R KR KKK KKK K ¥ PITCHES FIRST GAME * * FOR BOSTON IN SERIES * KERE KKK KKK KKK KK K ERNIE SHORE KIDNAPPER SHOT BY MINE OWNER Steamboat Springs, Colo., Oct. 7.— An attempt to secure $15,000 ransom by kidnapping R.
