76 THE USE BOOK. 



Timber cut in trespass may be seized, although manufactured into lumber 

 and in the hands of an innocent purchaser and upon patented land. It is within 

 the right of the United States to seize buildings or other improvements, either 

 on Government or patented land, when such improvements are constructed 

 wholly or in part from timber cut in trespass. 



Where a trespasser wrongfully mingles Government timber or lumber with his 

 own, either the whole mass may be seized and held until the amount lawfully 

 OTvfied by the claimant is proved by him, or, if the amount taken from the 

 Government land is known, an equal amount of the commingled mass may be 

 seized. 



The forest officer making the seizure will post notices on the material seized 

 and the trespasser and any witnesses to the act will be warned against its 

 removal. 



Material seized will not be stamped " U. S." until the case is settled and the 

 material released.

REMOVAL OF STOCK.

 ordered to remove it at once, or, if the situation is urgent, the Forest officer

 to it, but the permit can not be canceled or the stock removed from the area 

 allotted to it without authority from the district forester. 



Forest officers may drive unpermitted stock from any portion of the Forest 

 upon discovery of its presence, or they may allow the owner or herder a reason-
