Charles Stewart, a negro cook at
the kuster hotel, was shot through
the body by Officer Charles Negus
shortly before midnight Saturday
night. and lies at his home on First
street in what his physician thinks a
critical condition. The bullet entered
in front of the mans body, at about
the point where the collar bone and
sternum meet, and passing through
the upper portion of the lung, but
missing the main artery, emerged
through the right shoulder blade. the
course of the bullet being a little to
the right.
Stories OF the affair differ. There
were no witnesses to the shooting, and
Officer Negus insists that he shot
Stewart to prevent him from getting
possession of a large butcher knift
that lay on a table near him. Stewart
says hat the attack by the officer was
unwarranted, as he had no intention
of getting the knife.
Stewart is the day cook, but was in
the kitchen at night. He is said tC
have ordered a railroad man out OF
the room, and when the dining room
girls on duty at that time took the
part of the white man they were
cursed and abused and called some
very ugly names. Negus came and
tried to quiet Stewart. The latter
turned upon the officer, according tC
the story told Marshal Stirling by Mr.
Negus, and ordered him from the
room. In the effort of Negus to arrest
Stewart, the latter is said to have
grabbed the officers pistol with one
hand at about the time the shot was
fired. The bullet did not floor Stew.

both hands. Negus threatening to
shoot to kill the next time if Stewart
did not release his hold. The negro

and taken to the city hall. later being
sent to his home, where his wife re.

shortly afterward.
Today Stewart is resting fairly
