65-645. Same; condemnation and disposition. Any dangerous caustic or corrosive substance in a misbranded parcel, package or container suitable for household use, that is being sold, bartered or exchanged, or held, displayed or offered for sale, barter or exchange, shall be liable to be proceeded against in any court of competent jurisdiction. If such substance is condemned as misbranded by said court, it shall be disposed of by destruction or sale, as the court may direct; and if sold, the proceeds, less the actual costs and charges, shall be paid over to the clerk of the district court of the county in which such sale is had, but such substance shall not be sold contrary to the laws of the state: Provided, however, That upon the payment of the costs of such proceedings and the execution and delivery of a good and sufficient bond to the effect that such substance will not be unlawfully sold or otherwise disposed of, the court may order [or] direct that such substance be delivered to the owner thereof. Such condemnation proceedings shall conform as near as may be to proceedings in confiscation of intoxicating liquors.
