2. A marshal shall be entitled to such fees as may be provided by the uniform district court act.  All fees paid on account of services performed by him shall be the property of the county and shall be paid to the court clerk daily and by him paid to the county treasurer as hereinbefore provided in the case of all other county officers.

3. A marshal of the district court shall be a peace officer.  All monies other than marshal's fees received by the marshal or by the sheriff in relation to the business of said courts which the county is entitled to receive shall be paid to the county treasurer and a report thereof shall be filed with the clerk of said courts.

4. A marshal of the district court shall serve all criminal process issued out of the court whenever directed by statute, rule or order so to do and whenever he is requested so to do by a judge of the court, and he shall perform such other duties as any judge of the court may require.  The marshal shall receive no fees or compensation for the service of any criminal process issued out of the court.
