tion to the above-named fine, be imprisoned for a term not less 
than thirty days, nor more than six months. 
Sec. 9. The following regulations shall be observed in all 
cases of disease covered by this act. First, It shall be unlawful 
to sell, give away, or in any manner part with any animal affected 
with or suspected of contagious or infectious disease; and in the 
case of any animal that may be known to have been affected with 
or exposed to any such disease within one year prior to such 
disposal, due notice of the fact shall be given in writing to the 
party receiving the animal. Second, It shall be unlawful to kill 
for butcher purposes any such animal, to sell, give away or use 
any part of it or its milk, or to remove any part of the skin. A 
failure to observe these provisions shall be deemed a misdeamea- 
nor, and on conviction shall be punished by a fine not less than 
$100 nor exceeding $500. It shall be the duty of the owner or 
person having in charge any animal affected with or suspected 
of any contagious or infectious disease to immediately confine 
the same in a safe place, isolated from other animals, and with all 
necessary restrictions to prevent dissemination of the disease until 
the arrival of the Territorial Veterinarian. The above reffula- 
O 
tions shall apply as well to animals in transit through the territory 
as to those resident therein, and the Territorial Veterinarian, or 
his duly authorized agent, shall have full authority to examine, 
whether in car, or yards or stables, all animals passing through 
the territory or any part of it, and on detection or suspicion of 
disease to take possession of and treat and dispose of said animals 
in the same manner as is prescribed for animals resident in the 
Territory. 
Sec. 10 . All claims against the Territory arising from the 
slaughter of animals under the provisions of this act shall, toge¬ 
ther with the order of the Veterinarian and the valuation of the 
appraisers in each case, be submitted to the Territorial Auditor 
who shall examine them without unnecessary delay, and for each 
one that he finds to be equitable and entitled to indemnity under 
this act, shall issue his warrant on the Territorial Treasurer for the 
sum named in the appraisers’ report.
