After Dodge City
There are only a few reliable reports of Mather's life following his departure from Dodge. Mather's friends said that he was obliged to leave Dodge permanently because of a vengeful mob that wanted to kill him; they did not disclose his whereabouts. However, one newspaper of the day reports his appointment as a Deputy Marshal in New Kiowa, Kansas, in Barber County, where he remained for nearly a year. He had skipped out of Dodge City under a $3,000 bail, which he never paid.
Another report describes a man matching his description being found dead in Texas.
According to another report, Mather migrated north to Vancouver where he joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and served with them until at least 1922.
