HONORS PAID TO A SOLDIER HERO 

THREE VOLLEYS AND TAPS MARK THE END
FOR YOUNG DANIEL McTAGGART.

Military honors were paid today to the late Daniel McTaggart, the young soldier who died Sunday night at his home, 1117 Maryland Avenue from the effects of gas poisoning received in the Meuse-Argonne fighting.

Overseas soldiers fired a last volley over the grave while comrades from three branches of the service acted as pallbearers.  The funeral arrangements were in chares of the local post of the American Legion.

The funeral cortege started from the home at 2 o'clock.  Automobiles carried the pallbearers, firing squad and honorary pallbearers.  The firing squad at the grave was in command of Lieut. Dave Hudtloff.  In the squad were the following doughboys:  Edward A. Moody, William Webb, John Troup, R. S. Saxton, W.T. Chapman, Hugh Haughian, Lewis F. Takach and T. J. Crowley.

The pallbearers were:  Jack Rose,  Lee Boland and Walter E. Butrick, of the Marines: Roy Palfreyman of the navy, and Paul Hauschildt and O. D. Russell, of the army.  "Taps" were blown following three volleys.  Prayers were recited by Rev. C. A. Cook.

There was a large attendance of friends of the family.  Many ex-service men, some of whom had served during the war with Mr. McTaggart, and others who sympathized in the passing of the comrade, were also present.

The floral tributes were many and beautiful and testified to the high esteem in which the young soldier was held.  A large American flag draped over the coffin and after the earth had closed over the bier the flag for which the young man had fought and given his life floated in the breeze above the fresh clay.

Mr. McTaggart is the first Butte boy to die here of wounds received in France.  A large floral wreath with the emblem of the American Legion rests lightly above the mound where the soldier sleeps in Mount Moriah cemetery.
