 than one hundred persons, payers of taxes in such county, shall be presented to the 

 board of county commissioners of the county, asking for such an order as is herein- 

 after described, it shall be the duty of the said board immediately to make an order 

 and spread the same on the record of their proceedings, to the effect that there shall

 or lobo, killed within the county, a sum of money not exceeding seven and one-half 

 dollars, upon proof of the killing as hereinafter provided. 



SEC. 2. Any person applying for the payment to him of the money so ordered to

 ing the animal or animals killed, and setting forth when and where each one was 

 killed, the residence of the applicant, and that the animal or animals were killed 

 within the county. Such statement shall be accompanied with the scalp of each 

 animal, including the ears and the skin of the face down to the tip of the nose. The

 scalps to the board of county commissioners as soon after they are received by him 

 as said board shall be in session. 



SEC. 3. At each session of the board of county commissioners all such statements 

 shall be taken up and passed upon the same as other claims against the county ; and 

 if said board shall be satisfied of the truth of any such statement, and such state- 

 ment is accompanied by the number of scalps necessary to substantiate its aver- 

 ments, said board shall order the claim paid like any other county indebtedness. 

 All scalps presented with any statement shall, immediately after the claim is passed 

 upon, be destroyed by or in the presence of the board, and such destruction shall 

 include the cutting of each scalp in at least two pieces, separating the ears.
