States from the sale can not be given ex-
actly, but it is estimated to be soS,06o,-
74s.40. 1t was impossible to determine the
full amount at the time OF the sale Tor
the reason that the monthly statement
made by the secretary of the treasury to
the management of tho Union Pacific on
the list of every month was not available
today and 1t was found necessary to esti-
mate some items. although 1t is admitted
by both sides that the estimates are APP
proximately correct.
After the sale was concluded General
Corwin, The representative OF the govern
ment, was assured by the committee that
IL the amounts were not accurately figured
or should differ from the figures given,
whatever may be lacking will be paid by
the committee and will in no way be al
lowed to interfere with the confirmation of
the sale.
There was no opposition and no bids were
offered against the committee.
When the hour of the sale arrived Mr..
Cornish said Il am ready to receive bids
for the property of a description just read

There was a moments silence and then
General Fitzgerald of the committee said:
Il bid 500, $50 2S1.S7 in the name OF Louis

nish said: Are there any more bids?"

half OF Louis Fitzgerald and A. w. krock,

In Both instances General Fitzgerald read
his bid from memorandum which he had
in his hands.
