    62-411.  DISPOSAL OF CARCASS. In case of maiming or killing any cattle,
sheep or hog, the body of the animal belongs to the company, unless the owner
elects, within twelve (12) hours, to take the same in satisfaction or
reduction of damages. The company may proceed to take care of and preserve the
body of such animal, and must, unless taken by the owner, take off enough of
the hide to show distinctly any brands on such animal, also both ears,
including the hide between the ears, and in such way as to keep the ears
together, and the pieces of hide so taken off, and the ears of each animal,
must be attached together and preserved for at least three (3) months for
inspection at the station house nearest to the place where such killing or
maiming occurred. For every failure so to keep any such pieces of hide and
ears for inspection, the company, in addition to the damages to the owner,
forfeits $100, to be recovered in an action in the name of the state, in any
court of competent jurisdiction, one-half to be paid into the school fund of
the county, and the residue to the informer.
