A fire-warden shall have power to arrest on view, without first procuring a warrant, any person detected by him in the act of committing an offense against any of the laws now enacted or hereafter to be enacted for the protection of forests, wood-lots, timber, or wild lands, or when he shall have a reasonable suspicion that any person is committing or is about to commit some such offense. The warden shall have further power to take the offender before a justice of the peace, or other magistrate having jurisdiction, for hearing, trial, or other due process of law. The further conduct of any such case shall be entrusted to, and be undertaken by, the Attorney General.
