                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
   CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
 
                  SUBCHAPTER XX--GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
 
Sec. 170. Hunting and fishing; regulations; punishment

    All hunting or the killing, wounding, or capturing at any time of 
any bird or wild animal, except dangerous animals when it is necessary 
to prevent them from destroying human lives or inflicting personal 
injury, is prohibited within the limits of said park; nor shall any fish 
be taken out of the waters of the park in any other way than by hook and 
line, and then only at such seasons and in such times and manner as may 
be directed by the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary of the 
Interior shall make and publish such rules and regulations as he may 
deem necessary and proper for the management and care of the park and 
for the protection of the property therein, especially for the 
preservation from injury or spoliation of all timber, mineral deposits 
other than those legally located prior to May 11, 1910, natural 
curiosities, or wonderful objects within said park, and for the 
protection of the animals and birds in the park from capture or 
destruction, and to prevent their being frightened or driven from the 
park. He shall make rules and regulations governing the taking of fish 
from the streams or lakes in the park. Possession within said park of 
the dead bodies, or any part thereof, of any wild bird or animal shall 
be prima facie evidence that the person or persons having the same are 
guilty of violating this act. Any person or persons, or stage or express 
company, or railway company, who knows or has reason to believe that 
they were taken or killed contrary to the provisions of this Act and who 
receives for transportation any of said animals, birds, or fish so 
killed, caught, or taken, or who shall violate any of the other 
provisions of this Act, or any rule or regulation that may be 
promulgated by the Secretary of the Interior with reference to the 
management and care of the park or for the protection of the property 
therein, for the preservation from injury or spoliation of timber, 
mineral deposits, other than those legally located prior to May 11, 
1910, natural curiosities, or wonderful objects within said park, or for 
the protection of the animals, birds, or fish in the park, or who shall 
within said park commit any damage, injury, or spoliation to or upon any 
building, fence, hedge, gate, guidepost, tree, wood, underwood, timber, 
garden, crops, vegetables, plants, land, springs, mineral deposits other 
than those legally located prior to May 11, 1910, natural curiosities, 
or other matter or thing growing or being thereon, or situated therein, 
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine 
of not more than $500, or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or 
both, and be adjudged to pay all costs of the proceedings.
