Law of the Road.

Judge Bagg, who is one of the soundest men on the bench in Iowa, in the road case in the Grundy Circuit Court, said that it is the privilege of one who desires to drive faster than another to do so, and he may legally pass the other by turning out to the right-hand side of the other party, and the other party has no right to prevent him from so doing, and any act which would tend to hinder or delay him would be a technical trespass for which he would be liable. A party will not be justified when one desires to pass him in driving up a little way and then stopping or slacking up, and as soon as the other party again attempts to pass, to once more start up to run, and the party so doing will be liable to answer for damages.—Des Moines (Iowa) Register.
