There's Good in the Worst of Us (1915)

Tiring of the east and the conventionalities of the social circle in which she spent her time, Carol Danforth, handsome and extremely wealthy in her own right, starts for the west. Arriving at Holden she proceeded to the Eagle House, the only hotel the surroundings boasted, and registered. That same evening, Carol wandered into the "Hole in the Wall," a notorious dive operated by the equally notorious "Black Pete," who, according to the best-informed citizens of the town, boasted that the handle of his Colt bore more notches than any similar weapon "for miles around." "Black Pete," at sight of the beautiful young girl, decides to claim her for his own. But Paul Ainsley, her fiancé, who made the trip west with her, decides to interfere, and protests against her apparent friendship for the notorious dive-keeper. Later, Ainsley visits the resort operated by "Black Pete." He warns him to have nothing more to do with the girl. Informed by the dive-keeper that he had promised to shoot and kill the first easterner he met, Ainsley, fearing for his life, flees the place. While taking a dangerous turn in the road, his mount stumbles, hurling him heavily to the ground. Later, when several riders bring their horses to a stop and examine the body lying in the roadway, they announce him as dead, and bring the body back to town with them. Some days later, "Black Pete," togged out in the best store clothes he could procure, called on Carol at her hotel and told her how, years before, while attending college in the east, Ainsley, pretending to love his sister, won her confidence and then wronged her and fled. Then Carol wakes to the realization that she loves this burly man of the plains.
