Weighing 300 lbs, Gleim, in addition to brothel-keeping, was reputed to be a smuggler of diamonds, opium, and Chinese railroad workers. She was arrested for the attempted murder of rival Bobby Burns by having his house blown up with dynamite on 12 February 1894. She was held in the county jail whilst awaiting trial. Officers allowed Gleim out of the jail to collect rents from her properties in the red-light districts. Whilst out, she assaulted a rival madam but no charges were brought. Future Governor of Montana, Joseph M. Dixon, was the prosecutor at her trial, where she was found guilty and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment in May 1894. Whilst incarcerated in Deer Lodge, Gleim was assaulted by another inmate, but never recovered fully from the stab wounds that were inflicted on her. Her conviction was overturned after she had served little more than a year in prison. Gleim died in 1914, leaving an estate of $148,000. She left explicit instructions for her burial in the city cemetery. Whilst other headstones faced east and west, Gleim's faced the railroad so she could say goodbye to the railroad men who were her customers.
