Any owner of livestock making claim under § 19-5-13 for damages for the death or injury of such livestock occasioned through the process of dipping or as a result of such dipping for the eradication of cattle tick, shall first make proof of the amount of his loss or damage to the board of supervisors. When conclusive proof has been made or submitted to the board and there is no evidence of contributory negligence on the part of the owner and the board is satisfied that the said owner has suffered such loss, then the board of supervisors shall pay to such owner out of the general county funds, such amount as will compensate him for his loss or damage. If the board of supervisors shall refuse to pay such claims, or any part of them, the owner shall have the right of action against the county where such damage occurred.
