The person appointed by the presiding officer shall place the 18 ballots so drawn in some box or hat and shall draw out 1 and the person so drawn shall be one of the jury, unless challenged by either party, and the person appointed by the presiding officer shall then proceed until he or she shall have drawn 6 who shall not have been challenged, neither party being allowed more than 6 challenges. But if the first 12 drawn shall be challenged and the parties do not agree to a choice, the last 6 shall be the jury. When any of the 6 jurors so drawn cannot be found or are disqualified by law to act in such case and the parties do not supply the vacancy by agreement, the person appointed by the presiding officer shall proceed to draw out of the jury box ballots for 3 times the number of those deficient, which shall be disposed of and drawn as herein provided.
