From 1878 to 1879, Mathers rode on both sides of the law. From Ogallala to El Paso to Dodge City, the phantom-like Mysterious Dave Mather hunted buffalo, rustled cattle, played at the gaming tables, bore a wound in a knife fight, wore a law badge, and sometimes even been brought into court as a defendant. He crossed the fence between law and outlaw like a ping-pong ball. There were times when he was credited with being a proficient and courageous badge toter: other times, Mysterious Dave couldn't have cared less. He had served under renowned and respected lawmen: but he had also ridden the back trails with the worst of the lawless element.
