The Chicago American prints the following item, which though essentially true, perhaps overdraws Miss Mulhall's powers to
a considerable extent: "Frank Van Ness, an artist in the Masonic temple, has just finished a life-sized portrait of Miss Lucille Mulhall,
of Mulhall, O. T., sister of the famous "Bossie" calling "time" for the roping and typing of a steer in the open. It took Miss Mulhall,
who is known in the southwest as the "Queen of the range," thirty-two seconds to do the trick. The painting is now on
exhibition in the studio of the artist and will be sent to Fort Worth, Tex., to be placed in the ticket office of
a railroad for advertising purposes. Last fall at the crnival held at that place this sixteen-year-old daughter of Colonel Zack Mulhall, beat the
best of the cowboys of the United States and Mexico seven seconds in roping and tying a steer which had a flying start of two hundred feet."
