SENATE RATIFIES PACIFIC TREATY, 67 10 27 Che Caspe r Dailay | Opponents Swamped at Every Turn on ARE FORTIFIED SHOOTING FATHL TO DALY, SLAYER STILL AT LARGE IN THIS COUNTRY No Success Reported by Posse in Search for Man Who Faces Charge of Murder for Act Patrick Daily, 82 years of age, died yesterday evening at a local hospital from shock and gas pdisoning superin- duced by gunshot wounds al- leged to have been inflicted by elton ‘Taylor at the Buffalo Creck ranch tn northern Natrona cotrty Sunday afternoon. The shooting is gaid to have followed Daly's refusal to give Taylor a horse blanket of which the latter claimed ownership. Following the shooting, im which Daly was struck three times in the left shoulder, left elbow and right les. Taylor became a icgitive. Daly was taken in charge by other employes of the Buffalo Creek ranch and after aid was given to prevent his bleeding to death a race with death was un- dertaken to get the injured man to a Jocal hospital. Daly was removed to Arminto, 30 miles southwest of the Buffalo Creek ranch. The authorities were then no- tified and a physician and Deputy Sheriff Frank J. Devlin left here at 32 o’clock Sunday night for Ar mitinto. The doctor took the injured man in charge while Devlin proceeded to the Taylor ranch in the north part of the county to take Daly's assail- ‘ant in charge. Daty’s arrival at the Casper hospi- al was nearly 24 hours after the shooting. It was thought that he had 2 fighting chance to recover until a @angerous gas poisoning which ne- ceasitated the amputation of the in- ured arm set in. Following this ad- @itional shock Daly continued to sink until death came about 5 o'clock last evening. At the time of the shooting Daly was sheep foreman of the Buffalo Creek ranch, having served in that capacity for a number of years in the employ of John Mahoney of Raw!- ins, who owns the propérty. John Daty, a brother of the dead man, was foranan of the ranch until a few weeks ago when he left on an extend- ed visit in Caiifornia. The ranch has been under the management of Jerry Mahoney since that time. ‘The dead man enlisted in the ‘American army during the late war and’ saw nine months oversess, par- tictpating in some of the major of- fensives. After he was discharged from the army he returned to Casper and assumed his former duties. ‘The remains are being held at the Bowman mortuary pending the ar- rival of John Paly fom ‘California. ‘A sister, Mary, and other relatives in Casper also survive the dead man. Arrangements have not yet been made for an inquest but it is proba- ble the coroner’s examination will be made either this afternoon or tomor- row morning. The body of Patrick Daly will be Jaid at rest Monday morning with mil- itary honors. The American Legion will send a firing squad and taps will be sounded at the grave following services scheduled to be held at St. Anthony’s Catholic church at $9.30 o'clock. The Rev. Father John H. Mullin will conduct the service. The body is being held at the Bowman mortuary. Advices trom Frank Devin who ts conducting the hunt for Taylor, now wanted for murder, say that no suc- cess in locating the man has been re- corded. It was believed that Taylor was being shielded by friends in the northern part of the county pending determination of the extent of Daly’s injuries. Aden 2 Sis eae MERGER DENIED.

Vote Doubtful; Long Delay in Fisial Action on Measure | Held Possible in Any Event, Leaders Declare WASHINGTON, March 24.—Passed by the house late yesterday by a vote of 333 to 70, the soldiers bonus bill was made ready today for the senate. What would happen to it there) was regarded as problematical, but house proponents proposed to use every effort to pre-| vent it from being shelved, as was the original bonus measure. In view of the long debate which proceeded the final vote in the house, some speakers expected that the senate would kill the bill, while others apparently were not over-optimistic} as to the dhances of its passage in Its present form. Whatever its ulti- mate fate, it appeared fairly certain that the bill would slumber for quite a while at the other end of the cap!- tol, where already the calendar is congested with treaties and annual supply bills with the permanent tariff bill yet to be reported. ‘There were those who believed that the senate finance committee, to which the bill would be referred in the natur- al course, would make sharp changes in it Some administration officers ‘were known to look to the senate to pass a measure providing means for fimancing the borus, but they were not! prepared to predict whether the means would be taxes or the use of foreign bonds. President Harding has been repre- sented as looking with favor on the! financing of the legislation with re} funded foreign “bonds provided they} were in hand before the bill was passed.
