12. The said injunction shall be issued upon a deposit or security not exceeding $200, fixed by the judge, and the service of such injunction and all proceedings preliminary to or in connection therewith must be made personally upon the owner or other person or persons against whom it is directed, if they can be found in the district. If they cannot be so found, a copy of the injunction shall be delivered to any reasonable person residing in the said building or the occupant, and to the agent of the owner. If no such reasonable person be found therein or if the owner has no agent or if such agent cannot be found, then service shall be made as the court shall direct.
