ANDERSON, Gus (d. 1901)
Gus Anderson, a logger, was found dead in his room over the Mint saloon last evening at 8 o'clock by the porter who has charge of the rooms. The body was lying in a reclining position on the bed and the man had evidently died without a struggle. He had been bleeding at the mouth but that was probably caused by the rush of blood to the head. Dr. Kirkpatrick, the city health officer, was called and after an examination decided that the man had died of heart disease, which opinion was acquiesced in by Coroner Warinner when he arrived. Anderson was a native of Sweden. He was about 40 years of age and nearly six feet in height. He had been employed on the construction of the B. B. & E. extension around the lake, but quit there on Thursday and came into the city. He expected to go to work for Contractor Lind tomorrow. The deceased leaved two brothers who are working on the steamship City of Seattle.
