Apparently there was an argument at the local saloon in Whitebird. An old lawsuit between Troy Rogers and Henry Ray in regards to who owned some pigs was brought up. There was still a lot of animosity and hard feelings amongst them. Henry Ray insulted Charlie's friend, Troy. Charlie then threw a bar stool and Henry. Henry in turn pulled out his six-shooter and shot Charlie in the shoulder and the groin area. Charlie died shortly afterwards. Henry turned himself in to the local law officer. F. Taylor was the Justice of the Peace at that time. He immediately called for a coroner's inquest, acting as coroner. Others in the saloon were questioned. Taylor's official decision was that the shooting was in self defense, so Henry Ray was let go.
At the time of his death, Charlie's wife, Lilly Evans Burlinghoff, was pregnant with there fourth son.
