realty unnecessary – Railroads’ liability for damages by fire.

In any action instituted in any court to recover damages under

the provisions of the Oklahoma Forestry Code, it shall not be

necessary for any person, injured by any fire to allege in pleadings

or prove on trial title to the real property over which the fire has

spread, but it shall be sufficient in any action to allege and prove

that the person injured was in the occupancy or possession of any

ranch, buildings, improvements, hay, grass, crops, fencing, timber,

marsh, or other property, claiming the right to and occupying with

cattle any cattle range; it being the purpose and intention of this
