EmbaImed Beef Man

Pittsburg, June 9.-MaiOr W H DAILY
surgeon on the staff of General Miles in
Porto Rico, committed suicide at his
home by shooting himself in the right
temple. The body was found in the
bathroom by Miss Mary Short, the
housekeeper, lying in pool of blood,
with a 3S-caliber revolver lying on the
floor. Dr. Foster, who was summoned
at once, found the bullet hole in the
temple and announced that death had
taken place several hours before. Miss
Short then remembered hearing a sharp
report about 1870 a. m, but thought it
was the quick closing of a window. No
cause is known for DR.. Daly's deed, I'M
less it be that insomnia drove him tenn
porarily insane. For some time he had
been unable to sleep regularly. The
doctor was a widOwer and leaves no
immediate family. He was 50 years OF
age and for many years had been promi-
nent in medical circles. He gained in
ternational prominence during the Gu
ban war, as it was his report to the
commanding general of the army that
started the "embaImed beef inquiry.
