When a freeholder, summoned as an appraiser, fails to appear at the time and place appointed by the officers ordering the freeholder's appearance and discharge the duty as such, on complaint made to a judge of the county court in the district in which such freeholder resides, unless the freeholder has a reasonable excuse, the freeholder shall pay fifty dollars for each neglect, which shall be collected by the judge, and paid into the county treasury for the use of the county.
