Auther Frederick Steward (1845-1898) was an American lawman of the Wild West and member of the US Marshals. In 1898, he was sent to Tumbleweed, Arizona to apprehend the murderer Little Pete, but he attempted to arrest the Arizona Kid after having a tense standoff. As a result, Arizona was forced to shoot Steward dead, involving himself in Little Pete's shootout with the law.
