     625.05 Recognizance to keep the peace. 

    If, upon examination, it appears that there is just cause 
 to fear that the offense will be committed by the party 
 complained of, the party shall be required to enter into a 
 recognizance, with sufficient sureties, in such sum as the judge 
 directs, to keep the peace toward all the people of this state, 
 and especially toward the persons requiring the security, for 
 such term as the judge orders, not exceeding six months.  The 
 party complained of shall not be ordered to recognize for 
 appearance at the district court, unless the party is charged 
 with some offense for which the party ought to be held to answer 
 to the court.  Upon complying with the order of the judge, the 
 party complained of shall be discharged.
