It shall be the duty of the town police, upon finding an animal running at large in violation of Section 66-1, immediately to stable or pen such animal and forthwith to post at the courthouse in the town, notice of having taken possession of such animal, with a reasonable description of the same.  It shall furthermore be the duty of the police, in the event that no pound or pen is provided by the town, to arrange with a private person for the care, keep and protection of such animal so taken up and report his action to the Town Manager or, in his absence, to the Mayor, who will forthwith notify the owner of such animal, if known, and issue a summons to be served upon him thereby bringing the case before the County Court for trial.  If the owner of such animal is unknown, the Town Manager shall, after ten (10) days' notice given by written notices posted in the courthouse and post office in the town, offer such animal for sale, at public auction, to the highest bidder before the courthouse door, and out of the proceeds coming into his hands, he shall first pay the cost of keep of such animal from time it has been taken up until the day of sale, all court costs and fees, cost of sale and such fine as shall have been imposed.  Any balance remaining in his hands shall be deposited in the treasury, and if the person properly entitled to the same upon a hearing before the County Court establishes his ownership of such animal, then the remainder of the proceeds of such sale shall be paid over to him.
