No provision is in ado 'in tho law for Impounding tho dog. The law says It Is to bo shot and makes no provision for reprieve or redemption. Whllo it Is said to havo been the Intention of tho lawmakers to protect stock from shccp-killlng dogs in tho grazing districts, tho statuto is of gen eral application.
