Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 August 1894 — About Traction Engines. [ARTICLE]

About Traction Engines.

These are the days in which traction engines are moved from place to place upon the public highways. The law says a man mutt go about fifty yards in front of the engine while it is being moved on any highway, street or alley to warn all persons of the approach of danger that frightened horsts may be properly cared for, and if any engineer or owner of an engine neglects this duty he shall be fined in any sum between five and fifty dollars. Anybody can complain to the prosecutor.
