  • If any party shall fail to comply
      with, or fulfil the directions or finding  of  the  peacemakers  in  any
      matter  heard or determined by them in pursuance of law, within the time
      fixed by such determination, the party in whose favor such determination
      may be, shall be entitled to recover the amount awarded to him, by  such
      determination  with  costs,  in  an action in justice's court before any
      justice of the peace of the county in which such reservation or  a  part
      thereof  is  situated,  in  which  action,  a copy of the record of such
      determination, certified to by said clerk, shall be conclusive  evidence
      of  the  right  of  recovery,  and  of  the amount of such recovery, and
      executions shall be awarded to enforce the collection  of  the  judgment
      obtained  thereon in the same manner and with the like effect as against
      white persons, and the property and person  of  the  defendant  in  such
      action  shall  be liable to seizure and sale or imprisonment, as in like
      cases against white persons.  In case the action or  proceeding  is  one
      not  within the jurisdiction of justice's courts, the application may be
      made to a court having jurisdiction of actions of the same nature.
