If the sheriff or any deputy shall negligently fail to summon any person to serve as a juror whom he is commanded to summon, he shall be held and deemed guilty of a contempt of court and shall be fined not more than $100.00 in every case where the person is not so served, and he may also be imprisoned in the county jail for not more than five days.
The return of any such person as "not found" shall be prima facie evidence of negligence on the part of the sheriff or deputy making the return, and he shall be punished by the court unless the court is reasonably satisfied from evidence produced that he was not negligent.
