The accused was arraigned in the justice court of E. J. Freece in Salina, and bond was placed at $1,500, and bound over to the district court by Justice Freece. The charge resulted after an inquest held by Sevier County attorney, Henry Beal, of Richfield, Monday at 10 a m. The verdict handed down by the coroners jury of T. J. Morley, Evan H. Mickelson, Boyd Peterson and Dr. John B. Cluff, was, Val Gene Steele met his death by reason of blows struck and inflicted on deceased by one Grant Jensen, feloniously inflicted. The fight occured between 12 and 1 oclock October 8th, in front of a Salina beer tavern, according to witnesses G. M. Burr, James C. Jensen and James Reynolds. Grant Jensen was reported to have struck Steele in a parked truck, inflicting lacerations on the right jaw, right ear, various head injuries and a right temperal abrasion. The latter injury, according to Dr. Cluff, caused Mr. Steeles death, resulting in a cranial hemorrhage. All blows were inflicted by fists, Dr. Cluff stated, and were vicious." At the inquest, G. M. Burr, who was going uptown, testified that he was attracted by obscene language across the street in front of the beer parlor, and Grant Jensen was outside the truck insisting that Mr. Steele come out and fight. Mr. Steele was bleeding on the face, and Jensen called names. James Jensen stated that he was in the beer parlor, and heard loud talk, came outside and saw Val in the truck, the truck facing south, Shirl Crane was in the truck at the time, the truck belonging to Grant Jensen. Mr. Reynolds testified he had stopped in the beer parlor for a soft drink, enroute to the Legion Civic Center, where he is caretaker. He heard loud talk, and stepped from the parlor, saw Steele in the truck and judged that Grant Jensen tried to pull Steele from the truck. He said he heard Steele say, Let me explain, and Jensen said, No explaining coming from you." Following the fight, Mr. Steele was taken to his home by Shirl Crane, who had also brought him down town. He was reported conscious at the time. Dr. Cluff examined the body at 6 p.m. approximately 3 hours after death. At the inquest, Mr. Crane testified that Mr. Jensen had asked him to get Mr. Steele, and he had done so, anticipating a good fight," but was sorry now." After going home, Mr. Steele went into the house, and after a short time, told his wife he did not feel good. He went outside and lay on the lawn, where his wife found him later, and summoned the neighbors to help get him into bed. A doctor was called, but the injured man died before he could arrive. Mr. Steele wos born in Salina, October 20, 1908, and would have reached his 41st year had he lived the 20 days intervening between his death and birthday. He was a son of Jesse and Mina Ivie Steele, a pioneer family in this community. He attended the Salina schools, and has been a resident. In Aurora, October 16, 1937, he married Ferm McClellan.
