Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Criminal Law—Reward—“Arrest and Conviction”—Deputy Sheriff. Where a suspected felon is arrested without a warrant by a deputy sheriff of a county other than the one wherein the arrest is made he is not debarred from recovering a reward therefor merely because he is such officer.</p> <p>2. Evidence-—Demurrer. It is held that the evidence in this case tended to prove a substantial compliance by the plaintiff with the terms of a reward offered for the arrest and conviction of a criminal and that the district court did not err in overruling a demurrer thereto.</p>
