Anyone walking on railroad tracks lie
subject to fine or imprisonment or
both, according to law passed by the
recent legislature.
That information will be somewhat
of shock to those who are accustomed
to country rambles via railroad tracks
It's fact, however, according to chap
ter: sol, laws of 1916 The maximum
penalty is a $50 fine. imprisonment in
jail for 30 days, or both fine and impris-
onment. The law does not apply to
railroad employees, newspaper reporters
and persons whose business with the
railroad company requires them to use
the tracks like stock shippers, etc
There were more people killed and
injured when trespassing last year than
met death any other way on the rail
road yards and evidently this law il
meant, to protect the railroad compan
les against suits for damages.
The law provides for notices contain
ing this law to be posted about eacl
