any third party claim to the personal property to be levied on
or is in doubt as to ownership of the property, or of
encumbrances thereon, or damage to the property held that may
result by reason of its perishable character, he may require the
plaintiff to file with the sheriff a surety bond, indemnifying
the sheriff against any loss or damage by reason of the
illegality of any holding or sale on execution, or by reason of
damage to any personal property held under attachment. Unless a
lesser amount is acceptable to the sheriff, the bond shall be in
double the amount of the estimated value of the property to be

his application for the purpose of removing or discharging the
attachment. The court may grant summary relief as is just, and
may in proper cases try appropriate issues by jury.
