Sec. 2.
Perishable property which has been transported to destination, and
the owner, or consignee, notified of its arrival, or being notified,
refuses or neglects to receive the same and pay the legal charges thereon,
or if upon diligent inquiry the consignee cannot be found, such carrier
may, in the exercise of a reasonable discretion, sell the same at public or
private sale without advertising, and the proceeds, after deducting the
freight and charges and expenses of sale, shall be paid to the owner or
consignee upon demand.
