§503. Payment of arbitration award; failure of arbitration; remedy cumulative; proper fencing a defense
Within thirty days after the date of any award by the arbitrators, the railway company shall pay to the owner or his legal representative, the amount agreed upon by the arbitrators. Upon their failure to do so within the prescribed time, they shall pay to the owner of the stock five per cent a month, in addition to the amount of damages awarded by the arbitrators. In case arbitration fails, nothing in this Sub-part shall create any liability or responsibility on the part of the railway company for the killing or injury. Nothing in this Sub-part shall deny to any owner of stock the right to institute his action for damages, or to compel such owners to avail themselves of the benefit of this Sub-part.
Railroad companies shall not be responsible for the killing or injury of stock if their line of track is fenced in and kept in good order, and if they have erected and maintained, in good order, suitable cattle guards at crossings.
