The defendant may demand a jury of not more than twelve nor less than six men, and shall designate the number at the time of the demand. The proper officer, whom the Justice may direct shall thereupon make a list of twice the number of Jurors demanded, who may be qualified to serve as Jurors in Courts of Record of Milwaukee County, and the parties shall then alternately strike therefrom, the defendant commencing, so many names as will have remaining the number demanded. The Court shall thereupon issue a venire commanding the officer to summons those so remaining to appear before him at such time as he may direct, to make a jury for the trial of the said action; and the Court may compel their attendance by attachment. Either party may challenge any juror for cause, and deficiencies occasioned thereby or by any other cause, shall be supplied by talesman to be selected and summoned by the officer. If the defendant shall not demand a jury, the city or state may demand a like jury as is above provided; and if no jury be demanded it shall be deemed a waiver of a jury trial.
