George,

Using ancestry.com, here's another earlier cite.

>From the Burlington(IA) Hawk Eye, February 15, 1883(the date isn't on the
masthead, but info in the text of the page would confirm the date as
accurate.  p. 3, col.3-4:

(The story concerns a lady who was injured in a minor train accident and
sued.  It was originally printed in the Louisville(KY) Courier-Journal).

         Now she is in the court room again.  She has a fine figure and is
altogether lovely to look at, but as fierce as a leopardess when aroused.
She made her first appearance in Louisville at the Knickerbocker theater as
a variety actress.  She was extensively advertised as the "Ten
Thousand-dollar Beauty."
