HIS SHARE OF PATH
C. Nj. Culver Causes Arrest and Con-
viction of Highway Obstructor

The La Crosse Tribune of Saturday
tells that Charley Culver of Cashton, is
asserting his rights as an American eiti-
zen in way that may possibly deter
mine some points of law and road co
uity not fully understood by travellers.
We shall look for guiding points when
the case is off. The Tribune says:
The farmer having warrant served
for the arrest of an autoist, following
disputes as to the right of way of roads,
is q common occurrence, but District At
torney James Thompson was handed a
new one today when c. NJ. Culver,
owner of an auto, swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Walter Jones, West
Salem, charging him with obstructing
a certain highway near that place.
Culver asserts that he was driving up
hill and that Jones, who was driving
a wagon. stayed in the middle of the
road, making it impossible for him to
pass and paid no attention to requests
on the part of Culver to make room. +"
The case will be brought before County
Judge John Brindley Monday.
The Tribune of later date contains the
result of proceeding, as follows: Zone
of the most peculiar cases in regard to
rights on public highways ever brought
into a court, resulted in the filming of
Walter Jones, for obstructing the pass
ing of an automobile. Judge Brindley
placed the fine at $40 and cost. C. N.
Culver, complaining witness in the case,
asserted that Jones had impeded his
progress when driving an auto, over a
two mile stretch of the road by keep.
ing in the middle of the road and driv-
ing slow pace when the road was good
and going slow and even stopping where
the road was impossible.
Upon being fined, Mr.. Jones appealed
the case to the circuit court saying that
he wished to be tried before a jury.
The bonds were placed at 500 and the
case will come before the October term
Of the circuit "
From this decision we take it that the
old rule of the road holds good, that
whether it be carriage or automobile
no driver has the right to impede the
passage of another, especially if the
rear driver requests passage because it
is necessary or he desires to go at q
more rapid gait than he who precedes
him. There are road hogs everywhere.
They are on the highways every day.
The right thing to do at all times is 60
do right. The man who drives a ma.
chine should at all times take the great
est care to prevent accidents. If a
team shows fright be cautious and care
full; if driver, and especially woman,
needs assistance to manage her animal,
render that assistance. The driver of
carriage or wagon should not obstruct
the progress of an automobile. The
machine has the rights of the road pre-.
cisely as has the vehicle drawn by ami
mails. Common courtesy should guide
in either and all cases.

Lightning Damage in Viroqua and
Country Outsids

The dwelling house owned and occu-
pied by Lars Josvanger, in the southern
portion of this city, was struck by
lightning at the breakfast hour on
Thursday morning last, Mr.. and Mrs
Josvanger escaping injury, although
very much frightened. And they had a
warning and close call that would nat
urally make the hair stand with fear,
and after time for meditation to feel
that Providence had spared their lives.
Such a SCATTERING in all parts of a
structure one could scarcely imagine.
Lightning struck the chimney on the
peak of the house, Kidding the roof to
the caves on either side, penetrating
the building from top to cellar, extend
ing to nearly every room and corner of
the place. The house was dense with
smoke, but not a spark of fire any
where.
The place was fully insured, and me-
chanics at once set to work to repair
the ravages.
