1 The Boss of Marabilla Vidi , 1895 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , September vol. 31 no. 364 1895; (p. 721-723) Set in Arizona and on an Australian station. A US rancher reverts to his horse-stealing ways when he discovers his wife loves another. Though she is faithful he leaves her and is eventually believed killed in crossing a river to evade a posse - shooting the sherrif on the way. He settles in Victoria with his profits but accidentally meets his former wife - now married to her true lover - and his child one day. He arranges money for her anonymously and dies rescuing her and the baby from a bushfire. Interesting for its US/Australia connections. US outlaw seeking anonymity and respectability in Australia.
