   Upon filing of a certificate of such county or district judge with the
   clerk of the county, the county commissioners may, with the approval
   of the judge of the county or district court, of the county purchase
   from the owners thereof such abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts,
   or such part thereof as may tend to show a connected chain of title to
   the land in such county, including all such judgments and decrees as
   form a part of any such chain of title, paying therefor such fair and
   reasonable price as may be agreed upon between them and such owners;
   the amount thus agreed to be paid for such abstracts, copies, minutes
   or extracts shall be paid by such county in money or in bonds, to be
   issued by said county as the county commissioners may determine, or
   such county commissioners may, with said approval, procure a copy of
   said abstracts, copies, minutes and extracts, instead of the original,
   to be paid for in like manner.
