It shall be unlawful for any person, owner or custodian of any
livestock to permit the same to roam at will over, upon or
across any portion of the lands owned by the state in Hot
Springs county and known as the Hot Springs State Reserve. Any
owner, drover or other person or persons in charge of loose
animals or livestock of any description who shall drive or trail
the same upon, across or through any portion of said reserve,
shall be liable for any and all damage resulting therefrom. Any
person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished
by a fine of not less than ten dollars ($10.00) nor more than
one hundred dollars ($100.00). In addition to the foregoing
penalty the owner of any such loose animals or livestock shall
be liable for any damage caused on said reserve by any such
animals or livestock, and the superintendent of said reserve is
hereby authorized to seize and restrain at some suitable place
any such animals or livestock, and the state shall have a lien
thereon for the amount of any fine imposed against the owner and
for all damages and costs, including the care of such loose
animals or livestock, to be collected in a civil action to be
brought in the name of the state in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The judgment awarding foreclosure of any such lien
shall direct the sale of said loose animals or livestock in the
manner now provided by law for the sale of personal property
upon execution.
