         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
