MUST KILL PRAIRIE DOGS
Texas Land Owners Are Compelled
by Law to Destroy the
Pests.

Austin, Tex.-Prairie dogs are de.
clared to be public nuisance, accord.
Ing to an act passed at the special ses-
sion of the Thirty-fourth legislature
and which act is now effective. The
act also provides for their extermina-
ton. but no bounty is given by the
state for eliminating the so-called
pests; owners of land on which prairie
dogs exist are required under the law
to kill them and an allowance of two
years is given to such owners to rid
their lands of the nuisance.
1t is also made the duty of the coun-
ty commissioners of any county in
which prairie dogs exist to investigate
and determine whether owners of
lands in their respective commission
ers' precincts have complied with the
provisions of the law.
In the event the owner of land on
which prairie dogs exist fails to de-
stroy such pests the act empowers the
sheriff of the county involved to pro-
coed and destroy the nuisance.
For his service the sheriff is allowed
i've dollars a day for actual service.
and this sum is to be paid by the coun-
ty commissioners, but the amount so
paid shall be assessed against the
owner of land and the account or claim
as a lien against the land in
case of failure to pay the amount due
the county.
