Sec. 18.
All railroad, truck, steamboat and other transportation companies
that shall receive and ship cattle from any territory scheduled on account
of Texas or splenic fever, shall immediately after such cattle are
unloaded, and before the cars are used for any other purpose, cleanse and
disinfect such cars, or quarters in which such cattle are shipped, in
accordance with the rules and regulations that may hereafter be prescribed
by the Department.
All such companies unloading any diseased animals in any yards along the
line of their roads or routes of travel, shall unload them in pens set
apart especially for diseased animals, and shall allow no other animals to
enter into or be placed in such pens.
All stockyard companies or other receiving yards in the State of
Illinois, receiving any such diseased animals, shall set apart certain
portions of their yards for them, and shall conspicuously mark such yards
and provide separate chutes, alleys and scales for such animals, and where
the way-bills or bills of lading of the railroads delivering them show that
they are the kind of animals hereinabove in this Section described, they
shall be placed in that portion of the yards set apart for such animals,
and in no case shall they be unloaded by any railroad, truck, steamboat or
transportation company, in yards or pens other than those set apart from
the exclusive receiving and yarding of such animals.
