10-45-42. Endorsement and return of uncollectible warrant--Liability of officer for failure to issue or execute warrant. When the sheriff is unable to find property of the taxpayer which may be seized and sold, he shall, within thirty days after receipt of the warrant, endorse upon the case of the warrant the word "uncollectible" and return the warrant to the county treasurer. Failure or refusal of the county treasurer to issue a distress warrant when requested to do so, or of the sheriff to attempt to execute the same, shall make the officer failing to perform his duty personally liable for the delinquent tax, and said tax may be recovered in an action brought against him and his sureties by the secretary of revenue.
