committed, the name of the person damaged, the name of the owner of
the animals, if known, and if not known it must state that fact, together
with a description of the animals, including all visible marks and
brands. If the animals appear to be owned by different parties, a
separate appraisement and a separate certificate thereof shall be made
of the damage done by the lot or group of animals which appear to belong
to each of the different owners. In such cases the owners shall be
notified separately, and each lot or group of animals shall be adver-
tised and sold separately in the same manner as though the damage had
been done by different animals at different times.
Sec. 100-3-10. Owner to be notified. The person distraining the
animals must, if the owner of the same be known to him and if he
resides within ten miles of the place of the trespass, immediately
deliver to such owner, or leave at his place of residence, if he cannot
be found, a copy of such certificate of appraisement; but if the owner
does not live within ten miles of the place of trespass, the party
distraining the animals may, at his option, deliver a copy of such
certificate to the owner in person, or deposit the same in the nearest
postoffice in a registered letter addressed to said owner. He shall
be entitled to charge fifteen cents a mile one way for the first ten
miles necessarily traveled in delivering such certificate, and ten
cents for each additional mile, to be taxed as costs against the
animals.
Sec. 100-3-11. Failute to notify waives damages. If the party
distraining any animals shall fail to deliver them or the certificate
of appraisement to the city poundkeeper within forty-eight hours, or
shall fail to deliver to the owners of the animals, if known, a copy
of the certificate of appraisement within twenty-four hours after he
receives the same, or to deposit the same in the postoffice as herein
provided, he shall not be entitled to recover damages under the provi-
sions of this ordinance.
Sec. 100-3-12. Where owner unknown - Duty of poundkeeper. When-
ever any animals are delivered to the poundkeeper, and the certificate
of appraisement is filed with him as herein provided and such certifi-
cate states that the owner is unknown, the poundkeeper shall immediately
examine all brand books or brand sheets in his possession, and if
the owner be ascertained thereby, or if the owner be already known to
the poundkeeper, he shall, if the owner lives within ten miles, imme-
diately deliver a copy of such certificate of appraisement to such owner,
or leave the same at his residence if he cannot be found; if the
owner lives more than ten miles away, the poundkeeper may, at his option,
deliver such copy personally to the owner, or deposit the same in
the nearest postoffice in a registered letter addressed to such owner.
He shall, however, serve a copy in one of the ways provided herein;
provided, that whenever personal service of a copy of any paper is
required by this chapter, service by agent shall be deemed sufficient.
Sec. 100-3-13. Notice of sale of distrained animals. As soon
as such animals are delivered to the poundkeeper, he shall immediately
-23-
136
proceed to advertise the same as hereinafter provided, except when
the owner is known and has been notified, in which case he shall hold
said animals forty-eight hours before advertising the same. He shall

lation in the county, by publishing a notice in at least one issue
of said paper, and by posting notices in three of the most public
places in the city, one of which shall be at or near the postoffice,
and shall deliver a copy of the same to the county clerk, or send
the same by deputy or by registered mail. The clerk shall preserve
such notice and post a copy thereof. The notice herein provided for
shall state the time when the damage was done and the amount thereof,
the name of the party damaged, a description of the animals, including
all visible marks and brands, and the day, hour, and place at which
such animals will be sold, which shall be not less than ten or more
than twenty days from the time of posting such notice; said notices

only enough of said animals to pay the damages and costs, and the
remainder may be turned over to the owner at any time thereafter; but
if the owner be not known, the poundkeeper shall proceed to sell all of
said animals so advertised for sale. He shall execute and deliver

taking, keeping, and selling the same; but in the event such animals
are not claimed as aforesaid, then such money shall become the property
