Some very old facts in human develop-
ments are embalmed in the rule OF the
road said John B. Berry. Of Chicago.
at the Arlington yesterday. Mr.. Berry
is great traveller. and has Just returned
from a Continental tour, which he made
in an automobile. The rule Of the road
is that you turn to the right in passing.
You turn 20 the right because YOU are
Tight-handed. and in consequence right
eyed. Any crowd bears to the right If II
can, and so does any individual. All
over the world the custom is the same
save in England and Italy. where YOU
turn to the right II you are afoot. but 10
the left If you are driving.
What is the explanation OF This curi-
Gus divergence from an otherwise uni
versal rule? There are a number Of ex-
plantations that do not explain which I
found out on my travels One is that
the positions of diligences held the reins
in the left hand while the right was kept
free TO handle firearms, and that they
passed to the left TO fight highwaymen,
who were thus kept on the right side.
The trouble with this theory Is that
highwaymen were just as common IN
other countries as in England or Italy.
and that they could attack from the left
side Of the road as well as from the
right.
Why has America. a daughter OF
England. abandoned the rule of left-pass-
Ing for wheeled vehicles? AS a matter
of fact It has not quite done so. There
are three railroads that follow Il. Yet
the old rule has been generally abated,
in some degree, because America was.
partly or to a greater extent, settled
from the Continent, but chiefly because
the long first period OF settlement was
not only wagonless, but even horseiess,
and even English folk when afoot had
never ceased to be right-passers.
II would be a splendid idea, however,
If all the countries would adopt a gen.
erai rule governing this question. for
since the arrival Of the automobile trav-
cling has been greatly increased"

Pleading guilty to having stolen
If II. S. OvcrOckcr during the noon
hour last Thursday, ED Manning, one
of the two men arrested at Fremont
on suspicion by Sheriff Bauman, was
bound over to district court by Justice
lIiseley Saturday afternoon, and taken
to the county Jail at Madison Monday.
Manning pleaded mot guilty" and
waived preliminary hearing. Consta-
BILE Flynn believes Manning is a hard
case and only once did he take the
handouts from his wrists while bring
ing him to Norfolk from Fremont.
While at dinner at the Merchants cafe
the constable removed the armlets
but when the prisoners had finished
their repast he again ordered them to
| line up. Cant you take just one

Flynn. Manning is a short heavy man
weighing about 10 pounds and light

and very dark, with black curly hair.
Joseph Touton was put on the stand
in Justice Eiseley's court at 9 o'clock
| Monday morning and up till noon
| County Attorney Nichols had not put
on witness who could inCriminatC
him. Touton, however, in a statement
to the court said he was in Norfolk on
the day that Gollmar Brothers circus
was here. He said he arrived in the
city from Hooper about o'clock in
the evening and left for Fremont on a
freight about IL o'clock the same
| hight. He said he met Manning, who
| vas working with the Gollmar circus
| Ierc but only saw him for a few mo
| ncnts. He next saw Manning in the
| railroad yards at Fremont, where
| Manning traded a watch to him for a
razor. Touton's memory was very
| 1Oor and his explanations of his
whereabouts since he left his home at
| WinSted, Conn, where he has a moth
er, stepfather, sister and brother, were
very unsatisfactory. He said he haC
joined a circus at Odebolt, Ia, and haC
worked in Missouri Valley, Ia, abou
|
timony, was the longest time he haC
worked at anything for many months
The court took a recess until | o'clock
when the county attorney planned t.
spring some good witnesses. Whei

ty Attorney Nichols, true TO his prom
Use, sprung his star witness in the per
son of Mrs. ROgan of 110S Madison

as cook at the Vail restaurant, posi-
lively identified Toutan as one of tn,
men whom she saw climbing over TIN
back fence into the yard adjoining TIN
Overocker store. Her testimony end
ed the trial and Attorney Nichols rest
ed his case. The judge Immediately
said to TOuton:
well, l guess you will have to g
with Manning"
Judge, that's false" said Toutor
