When any person encloses any land adjoining another's land already enclosed with a fence so that any part of the fence first made becomes the partition fence between them, then, in such case, the charge of the division fence, as far as it is enclosed on both sides, shall be equally borne and maintained by both parties.Rev. Stat., ch. 76, § 8; C. & M. Dig., § 4654; Pope's Dig., § 5743; A.S.A. 1947, § 78-1210.
