§281-113  Claims.  If the owner or
possessor of any property or liquor seized under this chapter appears and makes
claim to the same, the owner or possessor shall file with the court, before
whom the proceedings are pending, the owner's or possessor's claim in writing,
setting forth the owner's or possessor's interest therein, and the reason why
it should not be adjudged forfeited.  The owner or possessor shall also give
bond in favor of the State sufficient in amount and sureties, approved by such
court, conditioned that such claim will be diligently prosecuted and that if it
is decided against the owner or possessor the owner or possessor will pay the
costs awarded against the owner or possessor.  If the judgment is against the
claimant, the property and liquor and all containers thereof shall be adjudged
forfeited and disposed of as provided in this chapter and judgment shall be
rendered against the claimant for all costs of the proceedings incurred after
the filing of the claimant's claim. [L Sp 1933, c 40, §72; RL 1935, §2641; RL
