§ 4919. Proceedings when respondent cannot be found
When the sheriff or his deputy cannot find the party against whom the warrant is issued, six days before the time appointed for returning the same, he may leave a true and attested copy thereof at the usual place of abode of such person. If, at the return of the warrant, he cannot find or apprehend the person against whom it issued, he shall make a return of such fact of the time he so left a copy. If the party complained against does not appear at the time appointed for trial, a district judge, in his discretion, may adjourn or proceed with the case, but shall not impose a fine at such hearing. (Amended 1973, No. 249 (Adj. Sess.), § 37, eff. April 9, 1974.)
