loving bill relating to stock

pears to be q worthy measure

A BILL.
For an act fixing the time
when it shall be lawful for stock
to run at large, fixing the liabil-
ity of owners of unregistered
males in certain cases and pres
cribing the manner of abolishing
the provisions of the act in q
county.
BE IT ENACTED, BY The LEG1s-.
LAT1vE ASSEMBLY OF THE
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA.
Section l. It shall be law
full for cattle, horses, mules,
ponies, swine, goats and sheep
to run at large from the first day.
of December until the first day
of April each year, except within
the corporate limits of any city
or village; provided that no
stallion or vicious bull or any
other animal known to be vicious,
shall be allowed to run at large
at any time; provided further.
that if an unregistered male
shall run at large or escape at
any time and serve a registered
female the owner of such un-
registered male shall be liable to
the owner of such registered
female to the extent of the diff
ference in value between the off.
spring of such union and the
value of the offspring of such
female when served by a regis
tered male; but nothing in this
act shall be construed to repeal
any special act establishing a
fence law for any county in this
state.
Section 2. The board of

county shall. whenever they
deem it advisable, vote upon the
question of abolishing the pro-
visions of this act in such county.
Such vote shall be in all respects
conducted by said board of coun.
ty commissioners in their regu-
lar meeting and according to the
provisions of the law.
i Section 3. Whenever the

submitted to a vote of the people,
and the order of the board of
county commissioners for such
election shall be made at least
sixty days before such election
