15-9-6. Endorsement of summons when no personal claim made against defendant--Costs not taxed--Plaintiff's liability for costs on failure to serve notice. If no personal judgment is asked against a defendant, the plaintiff or his attorney, over his signature, shall endorse upon the summons or attach thereto and serve or publish therewith a notice generally stating the object of the action briefly describing any property affected thereby and stating that no personal claim is made against such defendant. No costs shall be taxed or money judgment taken against such defendant unless he defends the action. Failure to serve such notice shall render the plaintiff liable for costs to an answering defendant entitled to such notice.
