(2) The amount of such deposit shall be endorsed on the summons and copy, and if the same is not actually paid and so endorsed such summons and the service thereof shall be void.

(3) Such deposit shall be retained by the justice until after the expiration of the time limited for appeal from the judgment, and in the event of an appeal such deposit shall not be paid over by the justice, but shall be sent by him to the clerk or deputy clerk of the district court with the papers in the cause.

(4) Such deposit shall be paid, in the case of an appeal by the clerk of the district court and, in the case of no appeal, by the justice-- (

In suits brought by executors or administrators the defendant may counterclaim for any debt due him from the testator or intestate. SERVICE. 13.

Except as to subpoenas, service of all process, papers and documents may be made by any adult literate person other than the plaintiff upon the person to be served, either personally or by leaving a copy for him at his last or most usual place of abode with some inmate thereof apparently of the age of sixteen years or older.
