As Mattie Blaylock waited impatiently for her rival, Josie Marcus, she
took a swig of laudanum. Ever since the actress had come to Tombstone,
Matties life had gone downhill. From the first time Wyatt Earp had laid
eyes on the dark haired belle, the big blonde beauty had felt her hold
on the lawman lessen.
The truth was that Mattie had grown more and more possessive of Wyatt.
Even before Josie appeared Wyatt had begun to tire of the former saloon
girls clinging. Her addiction to the opiate had only made matters worse.
 From their first encounter, Josie had made up her mind that the tall,
handsome westerner would be hers. Even though Sheriff John Behan was
paying her court, there was no doubt that Wyatt was her hearts desire.
She found any excuse to be near Earp, much to the resentment of Miss
Blaylock. Mattie had voiced her displeasure many times to her lover, but
Wyatt was more worried about the Clantons and the McLaurys than the
jealous ravings of his besotted mistress.
Things came to a head one night at the Oriental Saloon. Wyatt was
playing cards with his faithful friend Doc Holiday. Mattie was seated
next to her paramour, draping herself all over him. Josie came in with
the corrupt Sheriff in tow, sitting down at Wyatts table. It was very
clear that the dark haired actress was flirting with the Marshal. Behan
might have objected, but he knew Earp would kill him if he did. Mattie,
however, was under no such restraint. Within a few minutes, the blonde
saloon girl was calling her rival every name she had learned in her
former profession.
Josie, a tempestuous woman, soon had her fill of this verbal abuse. She
calmly leaned over, and slapped Mattie across the face. This infuriated
the blonde even more. She sprang at the little brunette like an enraged
tigress upon a deer. It took the two men all their strength to separate
the two vixens. Doc had a coughing fit because of the exertion. Wyatt
instructed Behan to take Josie back to her hotel.
Later that evening, Big Nose Kate, Holidays mistress, came to Josies
room with a message from her enemy.
Mattie says either be on the stage out of town tomorrow, said Kate,
or meet her at the clump of trees just west of town.
You can tell that broken down whore that the only stage Ill be on will
be at the Palace Theater. Josie responded, Ill meet her anywhere she
wants, anytime she wants.
The time was arranged for four P.M., when Wyatt would be on duty. Mattie
was a bit early. This was a bit surprising, owing to the fact that it
was hard for her to get out of bed. It was a sign of how serious the
threat Josie posed was to her.
A few minutes later, the petite dark haired beauty rode up. Unlike the
saloon girl, who had rented a horse and buggy, the actress was mounted
on a pretty mare.
Bout time you got here. said Mattie, I reckoned youd gone yellow.
Obviously, you were mistaken. Josie replied in a voice as cold as the
snow on the mountains. She dismounted, saying, Shall we get this over
with? Wyatt will be waiting for me.
You aint going anywhere near my man! Mattie cried out. From beneath
her dress, she produced a large knife. She charged the little brunette
with murder in her eyes. Josie coolly stood her ground until the last
possible moment, when she calmly flicked her riding whip into her
rivals face. The effect on Mattie was immediate and devastating. The
big blonde beauty reeled backwards in pain and shock. The weal on her
cheek was bleeding. Josie added to the injury by striking the blonde on
the other side of her face. Mattie screamed, covering her face with her
hands. Josie began to attack the big blonde beautys body, lashing at it
again and again. Soon, Matties dress hung in shreds from her
magnificent frame. She was only in her petticoat, now.
Josie laughed. Your slip is showing, Dearie. she said in a mocking tone.
Yeah well, everybody knows what you look like naked. Mattie retorted,
referring to the racy photographs Sheriff Behan showed around the
saloons of his mistress. From what I could see, you aint got nothing
on me. the big blonde beauty continued.
Why dont we drop our weapons, strip to the skin, and go at it woman to
woman? suggested Josie.
Good idea! Mattie agreed, Ive been wanting to get my fingers on you
ever since you started to bat your big brown eyes at Wyatt.
Within a few minutes, the two tigresses stood before each other
completely unclad.
Josie chuckled. No wonder Wyatt is leaving you! she said, Youre as
flabby as a whale!
The actresss words stung Mattie. She lashed out at her dark haired
rival. Josie nimbly avoided the clumsy punch. Then, she drove her left
fist deep into the blondes belly. Matties eyes widened in shock. She
gasped when the blow was followed by an uppercut to her tits. Mattie
went to her knees, groaning. She saw stars as Josie kneed her in the
face. The big blonde beauty found herself looking at the cloudless blue
sky, as she lay flat on her back.
The dark haired actress laughed scornfully as she looked down on her
supine opponent. Get up, you stupid cow! she demanded, The fight is
just starting.
Mattie slowly rose to her feet. Her legs were as wobbly as a newborn
colts. With a growl deep in her throat, the saloon girl charged her
daintier rival, her arms held wide, as if to grapple with the smaller
woman. As before, Josie stood impassively until the last possible moment
Just as the big blonde beauty was about to pounce upon the actress,
Josies bare foot lashed out, catching Mattie squarely in the crotch.
The effect was immediate and devestating. Mattie clutched herself,
wailing piteously. Once again, the blonde sank to her knees. Josie came
up behind her stricken opponent, grabbing the big blonde beauty by her
breasts. She cruelly pummeled the blondes mammaries. Matties screams
increased in volume. There was a quality of despair in her shrieks, as
if she knew that she had already lost the fight.
The dark haired beauty laughed at her antagonists ruin. She raked
Matties bosom with her long finger nails, leaving bloody furrows on the
blonde saloon girls once perfect bust.
Mattie was helpless. Her hands grasped Josies wrists in a vain attempt
to pry them from her injured titties. This only made the dark haired
hoyden tighten her hold. Slowly, Josie felt her rivals struggles abate.
Mattie was about to pass out.
Suddenly, Josie released her purchase on her opponent. Mattie collapsed,
her face down in the earth. Her entire body was racked with her sobs.
Josie looked downed upun the whipped blonde Her expression was a mixture
of triumph and disgust. With a hard kick to Matties side, she put the
blonde on her back.
I knew it would be easy to beat a souse like you, Josie gloated, but
I expected some sort of fight.
The little brunette straddled the big blonde beautys body, pinning
Matties arms. Grabbing two handfuls of golden locks, Josie repeatedly
banged the saloon girls head on the ground. She then punched and
slapped Matties face with wanton abandon.
Wyatt is tired of you. Josie told her rival, He wants me. You know
it, and I know it.
No, no. cried Mattie, He loves me!
Josie, infuriated, punched her rival in the jaw. It took Mattie a few
minutes to recover consciousness.
Youre going to leave Tombstone by sundown, Josie announced, or Ill
beat you to death right here.
Mattie, her face soaked with sweat and tears, nodded dumbly. The actress
helped the saloon girl into the buggy. Wyatt never saw Mattie again.
