ASKS COURT TO APPROVE OF SALE

Robert P. Ingalis Says That All Preliminaries Have Been Agreed On for Gifford Road.

Robert P. Ingalls, of Chicago, was here a short time this morning and before he left town he stated to The Republican that all Important details had been agreed upon for the purchase of the Gifford railroad. Mr Ingalis spent most of his time while here with Ed Oliver, who has been actively engaged in the effort to make the deal. Mr. Ingalis says that everything practically has been settled and that the money will be paid very soon. He called upon Judge Hanley and asked that he approve the sale. He is understood to have quietly informed Judge Hanley who the backers of the road are. He does not want this to become public, however. Mr. Ingalls says that if the road is purchased new steel will be laid over the entire system, the old ones being worth only about junk price. The road will be extended north to Crown Point and south to the coal fields at Brazil. Mr. Ingalis also says that a branch will be built to Rensselaer, just as Mr. Oliver has all along said there would be. 'Mr. Ingalis says that the deal is certain to be made and that it is only being delayed to permit every feature of it to be considered by the financiers. While the ro*>d land is to be bought for only $600,000, it is probable that a million more would be spent yet this year in extensions and rebuilding.
