Lucille Mulhall, noted woman rider and roper, may boast that there never was a pinto that could shake her from the saddle or a steer that could escape her rope, but at the troubled task of guiding a marital ship, it is all different. The horsewoman Saturday was recipient of her second divorce decree. This time from Tom Burnett, a multi-millionaire stockman of western Texas.

Lucille Mulhall is the daughter of Col. Zack Mulhall of Wild West fame. She gained her love for horses from her father and grew up in the tents of the colonel's Wild West show. She became the world's most famous horsewoman, competing and defeating some of the most famous cowboy riders of the West.

Her first love venture proved a "maverick." She married, after a whirlwind courtship, Martin Van Bergen, a vaudeville singer.

For a time she toured the country with her actor-husband in a theatrical act. In March, 1914, she filed suit for divorce in the circuit court of Johnson county, Kansas. The divorce, after a legal battle, was won by the fair rider.

Two years ago she wed Tom Burnett, son of Burk Burnett, on whose ranch in Texas the rich Burkburnett oil field was discovered.

Tom Burnett's love for horses drew him into the show business. He met the dashing and beautiful Lucille Mulhall.

Burnett and his wife became rodeo promoters. Miss Mulhall appeared in the roping numbers of the rodeo's program.

Several months ago Mrs. Burnett filed a petition for divorce. Incompatibility was the cause of the complaint. A week ago the divorce was secretly granted in Oklahoma City.

It is understood that she received $200,000 in cash and 5,000 acres of land by the terms of the decree.

Miss Mulhall, it is said, will now take up the management of her father's ranch near Mulhall, Okla.

Zack Mulhall was for many years general livestock agent of the Frisco railway. Lucille Mulhall has given riding exhibitions in Springfield.
