1. ““As we view this question, section 1690, R. S. 1919, provides for the giving of a cost bond either where the plaintiff has become a nonresident, or the officers of the court are in danger of losing their legal demands, or in case the court is satisfied that a plaintiff is unable to pay the costs of suit; and the condition of the bond required by that statute which was given in this case is that the plaintiff and his sureties bind themselves to pay all costs which have accrued or may accrue in such action. The costs for which this suit was instituted had accrued in the • original action when the cost bond was given and before the cost bond was given and thereafter the plaintiff in that suit was liable to the defendant of that suit for those costs. When the cost bond was given, the surety bound himself to be obligated for such costs as had accrued and were chargeable against the plaintiff, as well as such costs as might thereafter be made in the case. The costs rendered against the original plaintiff in the appeal to the Supreme Court were certainly costs which had accrued ‘in such action,’ and clearly within the condition of the cost bond given under section 1690, R. S. 1919.””
