The Anthony Weekly Bulleting Harper County Friday July 30, 1897 An Old Timer Dead. John G.

The following is the article: The body of George LUTZ, formerly clerk of the Eureka hotel, 210 East 15th street, was found in the Blue river last night. It was badly decomposed and was taken to Leo J. STEWART's undertaking rooms at 1216 Walnut street, from whence it was buried at Union cemetery at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Lutz evidently committed suicide. He was 65 years old and had been a resident of Kansas City for the past eighteen years. He had been very despondent of late, and had threatened to kil himself several weeks ago. Last Thursday he told a dining room girl at the Eureka house that the doctors could give him no relief for the cancer in his head, from which he suffered and that he intended to drown himself at the first opprotunity. He left the house the same day taking with him a pint bottle of whiskey. The body when found looked as if it had been in the water nearly a week, and it is thought that he carried out his threat. Henry MEYER, proprietor of the Eureka house will bear the expense of the dead man's funeral.
