   CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
 
              SUBCHAPTER XXI--ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
 
Sec. 198c. Prohibited acts; rules and regulations; penalties for 
        offenses
        
    All hunting or the killing, wounding, or capturing at any time of 
any wild bird or 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. That the Secretary of the 
Interior shall make and publish such general 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, 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; and 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 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, 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, 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.
