NEGRO SERIOUSLY
 STABBED BY DONA BOWEN
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Frenzied because she had apparent ly lost the love of her negro sweet heart. Ed. Carter. Dona Bowen yes terday, just after noon, seriously stabbed him in the chest and arm and is new in the county jail awaiting a hearing on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder, while the negro is in the hospital wavering be tween life and death. If the negro should die a charge of murder will probably be brought against the wo- man who, yesterday, admitted to the officials that she had committed the crime, but says she did not know what she was doing.
 The stabbing occurred in the "crib'' of Dona Bowen in the "redlight' dis trict about 12:30 o'clock in the af- ternoon, and, according to the story, Carter was apparently "snared into the den of tigress," who was under the influence of yenshee, an opiate.
 Carter, who is married and has one child, up to about a week ago had been a frequent visitor with the wo- man and, according 10 those who had seen them, they acted as lovers up to that time A week ago Carter told her that he was going to quit and go back to his wife and child, and it is said that she declared she would "get him" ii he did. Carter had not showed up since, and yes terday morning the woman called him on the phone and told him to come down, claiming that she want ed to see him. Unaware of what awaited him, Carter went to the crib and, as he approached, the woman said: Everybody must be treating you wrong, you look kind of blue. After he got in the door the woman said that there was nothing the mat ter with her but there was with him. She then grabbed an extra large pocket knife, which she had been us ing as an ice pick, and went after the negro. The next thing that was seen of the negro was when he came out of the crib with blood squirting from his chest and arm. Mrs. Pete Gaurriaud grabbed him and carried him through the Star saloon and out on Granite street, where other negroes carried him to the Manhattan club. He was then rushed off to a physician in an auto. The quick work in getting him to physician is the only circumstance which saved his life, for he was so badly cut that he came near dying while on the operating table While the man was receiving medical attention the wo- man. knife in hand, rushed into the Manhattan club, bent on finishing her ghastly work. Discovering that he had already been taken away she hurried back to her crib and ip some manner or other disposed of the knife, which has rot been found. The stheriff's office was 'phoned and the woman was taken into custody by Undersheriff Marks. Although thor ough search of the premises was made by Marks, Constable Fitzgerald and Chief oi Police Robbins not a sign of the knife could be found.
 After Carter's wounds had been dressed he was rushed to the hospital and last night he was in very seri- ous condition, he having been badly cut on the left arm near the wrist, and stabbed in the chest above the heart, the blade puncturing the left lung.
 Carter who, with his family, came here about three months ago from California, was employed at the laun- dry.
