Thursday, August 9, 1923. The Third Dáil dissolves, Berlin shopkeepers strike, Casper mournes.

Wyatt Earp, Los Angeles, California, August 9, 1923.  He would have been about 75 years of age at the time this photo was taken.  Again, while people are probably tired of this theme, it's interesting to note that at age 75 he looks more fit than Harding did at 20 years his junior.

The Third Dáil, which had been in session since September 9, 1922, as the Provisional Parliament of Southern Ireland, was dissolved by King George V at the request of Prime Minister W. T. Cosgrave. 

Elections were scheduled for August 27.

Berlin shopkeepers went on strike in an attempt to force Wilhelm Cuno from office.

The nation was still in mourning for the late President Harding.
