cost of securing ; such u ranclie , and con
cluded that il was very cheap , l.cirimrd
asked Florence how the land could be se
cured -o cheaply , and was told thai
plenty of men could lie found to prove it

them. 1'lorence said that ihe men could
be secured for sJJl ) si month , anil Lcgmud
replied that if the land could be .secured
that way hu wanted it. Florence made
no lelercnce to thu pre-emption laws.

therefore ordered lumber , etc. , and , hg-
ni ing up the cost , ni'ide out a check in

not jo to Nebraska with the mm , and
had nolhini ; whatever to do with taking

that rioi-piicc .said that the land was lo-
caled all right He relied on riorence

wjinted the men to cut rit ( ) ions of hay ,
but they did not want to. They finally
consented , however.Vitiipss Icfi about
the time tin ; lands were to be proved up.

no information expppt what IIP obtained

want the men to go to Long Pine in a

got there. Florence attended to that
and probably got U hiimorc to draw thp

to go toOgdpn over the U. & M. W'as told
by the passengers that she was on the
wrong train , as slip was then en route to
Chieaito. She got oil' here. Mie said she
was traveling from Mullah ) , N. V. , to Og-
den" with her brother ; that they had got
on the train in Omaha , supposing it lo he
the west-bound II. iV M ; that her brother
went into another car , and when the eon-
duplur pump along she had told him that
her brother had her ticket , that the con
ductor came back shortly and said he had
goi her ticket all right ; and that
when she got oil"tiere .she could
not Mud her brother. He hail her
Ueket and she did not know what
lo do , so .she was put aboard the westbound -
bound train in hopcR that she would liud
the brother at Oicapobs. The old lady
wpitiuite ) ] encrgctieallv , and it did seem
somewhat cruel for a railroad man stand

was an old dead beat and that lie had
seen her dead drunk in Omaha. At HIP
same time it seemed to the writer that he
had seen ( he wrinkled old features Rome-
where where they h.id not impressed him
very lavorably. The old lady wan

at a ho'el at the expense of .Mr. Latham
and was torturing the life out ot tlmt

LANHIV.vo. : ! ! . . , Nov. 1(5. ( Veeierday
tlii'fu arrived in tills place a migrating
cowboy from ihe Yeilowtonp country.
He was going south for tin- whiter I
overheard him on a street corner , < -.ak | :
of "Mother Osliornc. " Tin- name tinek
d chord in the xcfibe'H memory that
loudly respondi d , and he stopped and
a ked tin1 cowboy what IIP kneyv ot
"Mother Osborne.1' "Nothing , " was the
answer , "only she died two weckn ago of
starvation and cold , in nn old cabin on
the Clark's Fnrk of the Yellowstone "
And so tin- wicked , .shrewd and ugly old
harridan was dead at last. Mi mory at
oticp brought to the scribe the seemin
whiph IIP saw Mother Oshorue for the
first ami last time. It was in the mouth
of August , HS ; The flcribe was an em
ploye ol a cattle owner of Hip Dry Chey
enne country. The region was new ,
overrun with' desperate characters ' .ml .
cs-pccially rang with Ihe name of "M ° tih-
er Osboriie. " She was represented in all
the phas-ps of s-tiperlativp wickedness.
and the reprp entitions : were but have
justice. Two .years lielore slip had made
licr appearance in this section and lo
cated on lioiiypi- Creek , a running tribu
tary of tin ; Cheyenne. She was us gross
in person as in passions. Her bulk
erptaled her wickedness' . Weighing oer
Uiii pounds , then' was no horse she would
not ride and no deed sn | > would not at
tempt. She had two or three men with
her. and building a cabin of large di-
mcii'ion.s , she gathered about ) mr in a
short titne as desperate a gang -n ever
i ode through the gloom of night. The
IShick Hills and Clie > einie Ktage route ran
near. Coach after poach was plundered ,
and the road in that vicinity came lo be
soon known as "Mother Obornetrail "
Carrying her : > ( ) years as liirhtly as if they
were W , she rod > with the gang. She
was sdirewd and daring , a'ld Mother Os
borne 's plan w as nevi r known to"gi\o
out" or her nerve to fail.
In August the outfit to yvhiel' the
seribo belonged was oidcred to lake a
bunch of eatlh ; o\cr to thu Ucaver bottoms
toms and turn them loose , freshness of
range being the object -ought. The drive
was duly made , and the herd sonn graz
ing oil the luxurious Heaver gra sc Wo
camped on thi ! haul : of the sin-am the
night we leached it. Ju i as we were re
tiring for the night ( ho camp was sud
denly biUToimdc.i . by a score of as des
perate nitlians as ever rode to the call of
a plunderer. Their leader , an active and
truculent lookiu-r bandit , strode into our
mjilst and said that we were only a lew
miles from "Mother Osborne V "ranch ,
ami the good old lady desired our com
pany to a I lie tea 'and dane. ' . Tlu-re
was no resisting such an invilation , jirof-
fered as it was , and we were soon riding
in quest of the dangcioim hospitality.
Our captors and guides rode at a rapid
lope , and we perlorcu kept up. Soon the
lights of Ihe room burst upon us , and
thuii came to our oars the sound of a violin
lin , .skilliilly ph yed. Hidingup to the
door we dismounted , and soon stood be
fore Mother Osborne In an immense
arm-chair , in the middle of a spacious
room , sat an enormous woman She was
loaded with fat. Around her huge girth
was .sunk a huge holt , purporting two
heavy revolvers , while n Winchester rillo
was nearly lost in her lap. About
her g'lthered halt a do/en brazen women.
She welcomed us cotdially and heartily ,
and ordered refreshments for u" at once
Then whisky and liquor ad libitum Then
the lloor was cleared and the dance be
gan. It wasa wild M-eiie. The bra/.en ,
shanielpss women , the po-iriug whisky ,
iind the dense tobacco Miioke. the stal
wart , tiineilully-dressod bandit * , loaded
yyllh pistols and knivc * , and Ia t but not
least , the hngp bulk of "Mother Oshoi IIP"
hci'Hplf , as pistols in null and U'inchesler
in hand she wilii active corpulence wad
dled through the figures ol a quadrille.
As morning approached the Inn grew
diabolical in character. Vile language
and dire threats came from all sides.
Mother Osbormdroc several of her fol
lowers from tin- room at the iinr//.Io of
her Winchester , and her heavy bulk was
more than once thruiljearlcss'ly between
cockud iwohci's. Finally c.itno the
dawn , and \\itl. il Molhoi ( ) .sbnmi ( bade
us farewell.
