Text

Whenever a warrant for the arrest of a person accused of a crime or public offense is issued
by a magistrate, the delivery of the warrant by telegraph may be authorized by a judge of the
supreme or district court by an endorsement authorizing telegraphic delivery, at any place within
this state, upon the warrant of arrest under the hand of the judge, directed generally to any
peace officer in the state. After endorsement, a copy of the warrant may be sent by telegraph to
any peace officer within the state, and the copy is as effectual in the hands of any peace officer,
who shall serve the same and in all regards proceed thereunder, as though the peace officer
held an original warrant issued by the magistrate making the endorsement thereon.
