1Opinion of the Court
McPHERSON, Circuit Judge.
[1] In October, 1910, Mark P. Wells contracted with the United States to build a post office at York, Pa., and gave the bond required by the act of 1905, conditioned, inter alia, to pay all persons supplying labor or material. The building was finished and accepted, a settlement was made with Wells, and the balance due him was paid over. But, as several subcontractors were still unpaid, one of them brought the present suit against Wells and his surety on February 4, 1914, and others intervened soon afterward. This writ is taken by the surety only.
