346.02 FINDER TO GIVE NOTICE; PENALTY.
A person who finds an estray and knows who owns it shall notify the owner within seven
days after finding the estray and request the owner to pay all reasonable charges and take such
estray away. A finder who does not know who owns the estray shall within ten days file a notice
with the town clerk. The clerk shall transmit a copy thereof to the county recorder, who shall
record the same in a book designated "estray book." The finder shall give posted notice of the
finding of the estray in said town. The notice shall briefly describe the estray, giving its marks,
natural and artificial, as nearly as practicable, naming the residence of the finder, and specifying
the town, section, and time when taken up. For failure to give such notice, the finder shall be liable
to the owner of the estray in double the amount of damages sustained by the owner thereby.
