It shall be lawful for the county board of any county to enter an
order upon their records, allowing to any person who shall have aided or
assisted in the pursuit or arrest of any person suspected or accused of any
felony, or other high crime, committed in their county, such reasonable sum
as said county board shall deem just, to defray the expenses of the person
in aiding or assisting in the pursuit or arrest of such offender in making
such pursuit or arrest; which sum so allowed shall be paid out of the
county treasury in the same manner that other county expenses are paid.
