Fatty of E-Z Ranch (1912)
The foreman of E Z Ranch reads to the boys a letter, which is as follows: "H.E. Collins. Foreman of E Z Ranch: Dear Sir, Miss Mattie Davies, the new owner, will arrive shortly to take possession. Yours truly, J.E. Bary." The boys at once hasten to the bunkhouse to unearth their treasures in the way of fancy apparel, and the morning when the new owner arrives, present a very comical appearance, all except Fatty, who, the boys declare, will stand no chance to win the fair Miss Davies. In the meanwhile Mattie has received the following letter from Attorney Bary: "My Dear Miss Davies, You may take immediate possession of your Western property. I have arranged for transportation. Look out for fortune hunters. Yours very truly, J.E. Bary." The last sentence decided Mattie to make her maid pose as herself, as Mattie tipped the scales at 200 and the maid was young and slender. At last they arrive and the boys hustle off the maid to the waiting buckboard, leaving Fatty to help the hot husky Mattie with her many bundles and suitcases. Fatty promptly comes to the front and makes a good impression, but when they arrive to where the buckboard was tied, they see it disappearing around the bend of the road. Fatty hurried to a livery stable, but there is not a rig to be had. However, a friend takes pity on him and loans Fatty his saddle horse. Mattie, however, cannot ride, but Fatty helps her upon the horse, then tying a rope around her trunk he fastens it to the horn of the saddle. They start home, Fatty leading the horse, and arrive late after the boys had turned in for the night. The next morning, the boys are on hand to show the heiress over the ranch but are told that Mattie must see it first, and Fatty is again pushed forward, and later, after they have proposed to the supposed new owner they are advised that Mattie must be married first. The boys at once tell Fatty he must marry her, and after due encouragement Fatty is delighted to do so. He is accepted by Mattie to the delight of all and a minister is sent for, while Mattie arrays herself in her own handsome gown, and the maid in her cap and apron. The boys, with Fatty and the minister arrive, and the boys are struck dumb with amazement at Mattie's appearance; but the worst is yet to come, for Mattie informs them as soon as the ceremony is over that from now on "Fatty is your boss."
