A PHOENIX WOMAN
Who Has Been Cutting a Swath In
Cochise c UNITY.

A former Phoenix woman has been
occupying the center of the stage in
southern Cochise county for the last
week or two. She was Mrs. Lulu
Omstead, wife of Q. J. Omstead, an
architect and contractor and at one
time captain of b company n. G. A.
Before leaving Phoenix the Omsteads
had trouble and there was a separa-
ton. Captain Omstead went into the
southern part of the territory and at
/ length was Joined by his wife. But
they got along no better than before.
! Her admirers were so numerous that
finally Ostead left Bisbee, where they
were living, and went into Mexico,
where he now is.
| After the statutory time had elapsed
! Mrs. Omstead brought suit for divorce
on the ground of abandonment and
the case was tried at Tombstone last
week. Her star witness was f. F.
Fisher, a real estate agent at Douglas,
and whom it was understood she
was going to marry. She was granted
/ a divorce and then what followed is
told in the following dispatch sent out
from Douglas:
"E. F. Fisher, the well known real
/ estate agent of this city, has returned
/ from FL Paso, where he went in pur-
! suit OF Lulu OIilSledus the grass VIII
ow. who fed from Douglas last week
carrying with her money and 4 watch.
the property of Mr.. Fisher.
Fisher had been on amiable terms
with the grass widow and had be-
friended her in many ways, but when
Lulu undertook to rob him he baked
and displayed sufficient nerve to 60
on her trail. It is intimated that 9TH
ers beside Fisher were quite as heavy
losers on the dashing Lulu. but none
of them We're willing to make COM
plant.
Fisher followed the widow to El
Paso- and from there to Juarez where
/ he succeeded in forcing her To return
his watch and money. $50 Mr..
Fisher regrets the publicity attracted
/ by his connection with the grass wild
ow. but he declares that he will stand
for what are his just rights against
any and all Corners. He was at his
place of business this morning wear
ing a smile. He says his experience
with Lulu was somewhat expensive,
/ but that he viii unload a few bargains
/ in real estate and will soon be even
with the game. Fisher has demon
strated that he is dead game" and
4 it is not likely that he viii be tackled
very soon by another grass widow"
But it appears that this was not the
conclusion of the romance. The Doug
1 las Dispatch which arrived in the city
yesterday contained the following So
ciety note:
