Decision On the Sheep Law

Carson News: A decision just handed down by the Supreme
Court has attracted considerable attention from the attorneys of the
State owing to the fact that it involves the constitutionahty of what
is known as the "Sheep Law" passed In 1898. The question of con-
situionaity Of the law was not argued at great length by the at
torneys in the particular case, but this issue will likely be presented
squarely to the court within a short time by some other cases which
will be appealed to the Supreme Court. In the case in question.
the Pyramid Land and Stock Company against George I. Pierce and
l. N. Blakeless, the court held the law constitutional.
The attack on the validity of the law is made on the grounds
that it provides that in case the plaintiff in the case wins, he is en-
titled to all the costs, attorney fees, etc, while 4 the defendant wins
he is not entitled to such relief. The California courts have repeat
eddy held and some of the other courts, it is said have also held,
that such Acts were unconstitutional. However, that makes a dis
tincton when the laws come under what might be known as police
regulations and this Act in question may be SC classed.
The sheep cases frequently arise in the northern and eastern
parts of the State and the costs are always very heavy. As an ex-
ample a case arose a short time ago in Elko County where the dam
ages awarded amounted to $11 while the costs amounted to about
$500. The costs are still accumulating in the case, too. Under
the law attacked the trespasser is compelled to pay twice the amount
OF the damage done, the attorneys fees and costs, and the Judgment
is the first lien on the sheep for the amount 1t is said that the
business is a rather profitable one for a certain class of attorneys.
