Streit From Montana. Man Who Died at Valley House Buried Today
The funeral of Gus Streit, the man whose dead body was found at the Valley House in Salt Lake City last Friday, took place from the undertaking parlors of Joseph William Taylor today. The body was laid away without ceremony and was buried at the expense of the Masonic order of Fort Benton, Mont., of which lodge the deceased was a member. Yesterday afternoon the coroner's jury returned the verdict that the man came to his death of unknown causes, so that the exact truth of the matter will probably never be known although it is reasonably certain that it was a case of suicide well planned and carefully carried out.
