EVEN HOTEL TOP WAS

Terre Haute Hoofing Company Capped the Job With a "Built-Up' Gravel Roof.

The Terre Haute Roofing Co., which built the gravel roof for the Hotel Deming, was formed in this city in August, 1911, by Edward Dunning, who came here from St. Louis, where he had been engaged all his life in the gravel roof business. As E. Dunning & Sons the Arm began in a quiet way the upbuilding of their business, and were the flnst exclusive gravel roof "builders in the city. The roof Is known as the built up gravel roof, the maI terials used being pitch and felt. The company has done gravel roof work on some of the largest and best known buildings in the city, including the

Hers building, the Tribune build--Ing, the Plaia hotel, the Tuller hotel, the Max Blumberg building next to 'the MoKeen National bank, and only -recently put the gravel roof on the

International Harvester building and 'has contracts for gravel roofing on twelve of the new buildings being erected in Jasonville to replace those destroyed in July's disastrous fire.

While working modestly to establish its name the company has built up a ^'reputation for efficiency throughout the region for fifty mdl^s in every direction from Terre Haute, and this season thus far has used thirteen carloads of roofing material from the Barrett Manufacturing Co., the largest exelusive manufacturers of roofing material in the world, with branches in all the leading cities in this country and abroad. Mr. Dunning gives his personal attention to the work, and recently acknowledging an order for material the Barrett Co. said he was one of the best boosters for the business the Chicago branch of the company has.

AT SERINE OP LIBERTY.

It is reported that over a million persons visited Independence hall last1 *", yt-ar and these pilgrims at the shrine of liberty represented every state in the union and almost every civilized,

land in he world. This is gratifying in more ways than one, and it is to be hoped that many of the visitors received inspiration in the venerable edifice and that they returned to their various homes filled with the Idea of liberty under the law.

There never was a time in the history of the United States when there V'as a greater need of study of the aims and purposes of the republic and nc better place where the lesson can learned than Independence hall. The declaration of independence and the .constitution of the United States are two documents that are worthy of the thoughtful consideration of all good citizens.

They are safe charts for our pilots s-v- in a day when the ship of state ie being steered through uncertain waters*—

DOG THAT CAUGHT THIEF

•/.

Animal Avenges Master, Struck Down by Bobber, Baby's Value Bounds, But He's Not for Sale.

PHJLAIDEUPHIA, Oct. 17.—Baby, a loyal bulldog which prevented robbery of his master, Charles Harder, of 154 West Girard avenue, a Jeweler, is having the time of his life, after spending the most miserable nlfeht of his canine career in an alley near Second street 'and Girard avenue. Tho dog slunk into the dark alley late at night, after he had prevented the robbery, and lay there whining all night.

The courageous animal was found by Charles Biehl, of 184 West Girard avenue, in the morning. Biehl was attracted by the pitiful cries of the dog. Baby was taken hoine again

Heretofore Baby has not had much of a reputation as a fighter. His nature is peaceful. He stayed in the I house too much to get experience. He I was dozing in a corner of his master's jewelry store when a man who later I gave the name of Thomas Stercks, of I 1137 East Columbia avenue, entered. I The man asked to see wedding rings and displayed a $5 bill. Then he requested Mr. Harder to Bhow him dlamonds. When the Jeweler started to put the wedding rings back, Stlrks drew a piece of lead pipe from under his coat and struck Harder over the head" The jeweler dropped unconscious.

Sterks heard a low, savage growl.

Harder did not recover consciousness for nearly an hour after he was admitted to the hospital.

A smashed gas fixture in the store showed the strength Stercks put into the blow meant for Harder. The gas fixture partially stopped the force of the blow.

Baby's value wenit up by leaps and bounds. Three men applied to Harder

TPHE fact, that Marquette Portland Cement was usecl exclusively ^for the concrete work on this important *y job is gratifying to us, and also a matter of satisfaction to the owners of tfc° building.^ It means that the Deming Hotel contains the finest, most permanent, and most carefully tested materials that its builders could obtain. v£?3 Marquette was used in the LaSalle Hotel and the new i^ Morrison Hotel—the biggest recent hotel contracts in Chicago. -,'$y V*

and then something that seemed to be ed a muffler I took a soak at him.', all action and teeth struck him in the

throat. Scarcely able to see, he fought desperately to break the grip of the bulldog.

But When Sterks tore the animal' loose by main force, Baby sunk^ his teeth somewihere else and for ten minutes the two battled around the store. At last Stercks managed to get a grip ort^the dog and threw him the length of the room. Then he fled.

Baby is fat, but he is a bulldog, and therefore persistent. He had but one aim In life. It took him two blocks to catch 'Ste,rcks, who ran with the speed of fear, but when Baby sank his teeth again it was in the seat of Stercks' trousers. The man fell and the dog stood over him.

By this time persons in the vicinity of the store learned what had happened to Harder. The dog willingly stepped aside. Stercks' head was covered with blood. His thrjat and ear are badly marked. While Stercks and Harder were being taken to St. Mary's hospital Bnby disappeared.

Shaw leaped to his feat and his fist shot out. Cohn wsus floored. His glasses were broken and his lunch was scattered over the tile floor. Sergeant Anderson arrested both of them. Shaw was locked up and Oochn was released. "I couldn't stand it!" explained Oohn. "It gets on miy nerve® to hear anybody eating soup." "The soup was hot and I couldn't help it," said Shaw.

GKETHXLEr, Colo., Oct IT.—After losing his valuable farm while temporarily insane and being a county charge for five years, William Nelson, 1? fifty-seven years old, has been awarded a decree in the district court by Judge R. G. Strong that restores his equity in one of the most valuable farns lu Weld county and allows him to fOM* *|ji close on a deed of trust that he held.

For ten years he lost his Identity. through temporary Insanity caused by business cares. During that time he made a deed of trust to his creditors and sold the farm, taking another deed of trust from N. O. Waldo, with the understanding that the first deed would be paid off. The first deed never paid, but the farm was foreclosed and Waldo's son bouglit It in. He then conveyed it to his father, and from -s that tim4, 18 91, Nelson lost his identity and remembered nothing more until ten years later.

Records traced him to the Ohio insane asylum, where he was an inmate for several years before he escaped. At that time he came back to Sreeley selling a book entitled "Thirty Yearri '"V* in Hell."

Closeness to his old home and iur-'\ roundings began to clearify his mind and slowly he began to remember that he once owned a farm In thjje "district How he lost it was not plain for a time, but it finally dawned on him and he consulted a local attorney who took an interest in his case and carried It through the courts for three years before getting the decree.

Waldo, in the rqeantime, had released the original deed of trust made by him and apparently had a clear title to the lafid. When Nelson made his case in court the release of the deed of trust was set aside and he can now foreclose on it. The lapd is a 160«r •. acre farm worth $40,000.
