"CATTLE KATE" OF WYOMING.
She Breaks Up Gambling Den, Secures
the Money, and Prevents Hanging.
cheyenne [WVOl telecraml

Mrs. Kate Maxwell, the Belle Starr of Wyom-
ing, closed up q gambling house at BesSemer,
WyO., recovered overall thousand dollars which
had been lost by her cowboys, and then saved
the lives of the Two Chicago tin horn gam b1ers
just as the Infatuated cowboys we're going to
string them up. She is known as Cattle Kate, !"
and runs small ranch which, it is suspected,
is the rendezvous for cattle-thieves and lawless
people. About twenty cowboys make their
headquarters there, and of late they have drawn
large sums in advance of wages from her. She
is generous and has been in funds since
last fall when she shipped nearly all her cattle
to Chicago. The other day she was robbed of
81, 500 by her own men and her resentment was
aroused against the gamblers. They are known
one as Mike Fairly and the other as Goodwin
and had to leave Colorado for crooked work
Their gambling hell at Bessemer was crowded
when Kate rode in on her trusty horse, accom-
panied only by her foreman, and both armed to
the teeth. While Kate covered the dealer and
players with two large six-shooters Mason, her
foreman, secured the box and showed the crowd
that the game an unfair or brace" one.
This enraged the cowboys, and Fairly AMI Good
win were terribly beaten and ordered to prepare
for lynching. The ropes were in sight
when Cattle Kate" interceded for
she would divide their money amount
ing to several thousand dollars, which she
had secured. Goodwin and Fairly were placed
On couple of scrub ponies and chased out of
town. Their place was fired, and all hands went
over to Mrs. Maxwells ranch, where dance
reputation among the stockmen is very unsa-
worry, but her popularity among a certain class
is wonderful. Cattle owners have organized for
protection against the wholesale thieving that
is depopulating the herds, ana it would not be
surprising if Cattle Kate" should become g.
