ASKSJUDGEMENT IN LARGE SUM
TAGGART BUSY ANSWERING LETTERS OF CONGRATULATION
EWING SHIELDS, LOCAL CONTRACTOR, IS MADE CO-DE-FENDANT FOR PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN USED IN CONSTRUCTION OF TERRE HAUTE STREETS, IN SUIT FILED HERE
TODAY.
$2,008 IS AMOUNT ASKED
Judgement in the amount of .*9,000 is asked by the Terre Haute Vitrified Brick Company of Ewing Shields, a local contractor, and the United States Fidelity and Surety Company, of Maryland, in a suit filed here Thursday. The amount is alleged to be due for furnishing of material used in the construction of certain streets in Terre Haute. The complaint was filed by attorneys Davis, Bogart, Royse and Moore, of Terre Haute, and is in three paragraphs. The first sets out that January 17, 1914, the city of Terre Haute authorized the improvement of nineth and one-half street from the south line of Sycamore street to the north line of Poplar street, and that Mr. Shields subsequently was awarded the contract for $15,741. It alleges further that the defendent executed a bond in the sum of $10,900 with the United States Fidelity and Surety Company for the payment of all claims for materials. The Terre Haute firm claims to have sold to Mr. Shields 201.100 bricks for the work costing $4,159.80. The plaintiff alleges that $1,440.49 of this amount remains unpaid, and that it is entitled to this principal and interest on the same, in the total sum of $2,000. The second and third paragraphs are similar to the first, and are in relation to work alleged to have been done by Mr. Shields in the improvement of Chestnut street, Terre Haute, from the east property line of Thirteenth street to the west property line
(By Willis S. Thompson) FRENCH LICK, Ind., March 24.— Senator Thomas Tagart is spending one of the busiest weeks of his remarkably busy life before leaving for his new duties at Washington. He is giving hi', personal attention to answeiirg the thousands of letters and telegrams which have been coming from his friends not only in Indiana, but from all over the country. has three stenographers keeping . n with his dictation ofp ersonal letters, and he will not finish the work be!' . Saturday, when he will leav^ f'-r Washington, going first to Indianap-
olis.
Messages of congratulation and good wishes are not confined to his Democratic friends by any means. Distinguished newspaper men, editors and correspondents from all over the country have wired and written. C-.e Republican senator wires “if we must have a Democratic senatorf rom Indiana. may you always be that Democrat.” “From over the political garden wall allow a Republican to congratulate Indiana upon the fact that her most distinguished and deserving citizen has been recognized,” wired another Republican from New York
City.
All over the country there are former hoosiers and there were hundreds of telegrams from these. Republicans from all parts of Indiana urge Senator Taggart to seek the nomination for the full short term and guarantee him support. Delegates to the Democrntic state convention insist that he must accept the nomination and guarantee him their support. In three instances solid county delegations have wired and declared they will not consent to vote for another man for the nomination, and that his name on the ticket willm ean thou-
sands of votes.
From one northern county in Indiana a bunch of enthusiastic Republican admirers write “if your name is on the Democratic ticket, the Republicans of this county will join the Democrats and make the county unanimous for Tom Taggart for short term

Mrs. Clark made affidavits yesterday which resulted in the arrest of Anna Rehling, 43 years old, 1827 Highland Place, charged with receiving stolen goods, and Isabelle Hayden, 56 years old, 1107 South East street, a fortune teller, charged with obtaining money under false pre-
tenses.
“According to Mrs. Clark’s statement, she purchased two diamond rings from the C. W. Scanlin jewelry store, 133 East Washington street, on payments, and gave them to the Rehling woman, instructing her to sell them and invest the proceeds in stocks. "Mrs. Clark says she also gave the Rehling woman some money, and that when a demand was made for more cash to cover stock margins she stole a diamond pin belonging to her husband and turned it over to the

We believe in a better world than this, and when loved ones depart, and we can feel they have left this poor world of suffering and gone to that sweet home beyond the skies, it cheers our poor hearts*and helps us to bear up during our grief and affliction, and sweetens the bitter cup from which we are .forced to drink.
