Section 306. Fence destroyed by accident

Whenever a division fence shall be
  injured  or  destroyed by floods, or other casualty, the person bound to
  make and repair such fence, or any part thereof, shall  make  or  repair
  the same, or his just proportion thereof, within ten days after he shall
  be  so required by any person interested therein. Such requisition shall
  be in writing, and signed by the party  making  it.  If  the  person  so
  notified  shall  refuse  or  neglect to make or repair his proportion of
  such fence, for the space of ten days  after  such  request,  the  party
  injured  may  make  or  repair  the  same at the expense of the party so
  refusing or neglecting, to be recovered from him with costs.
