COURT; procedure.

Where any interest in property shall be leased for any definite

and shall give notice in writing one month before the expiration of
the term or determination of said will to the tenant or to the person
actually in possession of the property to remove from the property
at the end of the term, and if the tenant or person in actual pos-
session shall refuse to comply therewith, the landlord may make
complaint thereof in writing to the District Court of the county
where the property is located. The court shall forthwith issue its
summons to the tenant or person in possession that he be and
appear on a day stated in the summons before the court to show
cause (if any he have) why restitution of the possession of the
said estate so leased should not be forthwith made to the landlord.
Upon the failure of either of the parties to appear before the court
on the day stated in the summons, the court shall continue the case
to a day not less than six nor more than ten days after said day so
first stated and notify the parties of such continuance.
