A trial shall be had in said court in the same manner in which other civil actions are tried therein, and such hearing shall take precedence of all other causes. The person so entering upon land may tender to the party injured payment therefor; and, if the damages finally assessed are not more than the amount tendered, the person entering shall recover costs; otherwise, the prevailing party shall recover such costs as are ordinarily taxed in civil actions in said court.
