Full text
In any case where a claim is made to property found or taken up, and the ownership of the property cannot be agreed upon by the finder and claimant, they may make a case before any district judge, associate district judge, or judicial magistrate in the county, who may hear and adjudicate it, and if either of them refuses to make such case the other may make an affidavit of the facts which have previously occurred, and the claimant shall also verify the claim by the claimant’s affidavit, and the district judge, associate district judge, or judicial magistrate may take cognizance of and try the matter on the other party having one day’s notice, but there shall be no appeal from the decision. This section does not bar any other remedy given by law.
