     549.18 Security for costs.  


    When an action is begun in the district court by a 
 plaintiff who is committed for a crime, or is a nonresident or a 
 foreign corporation, or when such action is brought into the 
 district court on appeal by defendant, such plaintiff shall file 
 a bond to the court administrator, before service of summons, or 
 in case of appeal within five days after perfecting the same, in 
 the sum of at least $75, conditioned for the payment of all 
 costs and disbursements that may be adjudged against the 
 plaintiff.  If, after the commencement of the action or the 
 taking of an appeal, all parties plaintiff therein become 
 nonresidents, or the sureties on the bond remove from the state 
 or become insolvent, the court, on motion, may require such 
 bond, or an additional bond, to be filed, conditioned as 
 aforesaid.  This section shall not apply to any action brought 
 for the recovery of wages or claims for personal services.
