A Cowboy's Love (1911)

It all started when an automobile carrying Cleo Graham and her fiancé, Herbert Fitzroy, broke down in the west. Handsome Bud Marsdon, a cowboy, hitched his horse to the machine and pulled it to a hotel, indignantly refusing Fitzroy 's offer to pay for the service. The next evening the cowboys held a dance and it must be admitted that Fitzroy had grounds for jealousy because Cleo danced nearly all the time with Bud. Fitzroy and a "sorehead" cowboy named Dan, plotted to get Bud into trouble. In a preliminary gun fight Bud got the better of Dan. Then the latter wrote a note signing Cleo's name and asking Bud to meet her at the "Forks." When Bud arrived there he was held up by four masked men. They took his saddle on which his name was stamped, placed it on a horse that they had stolen and turned the animal loose. A little while later they released Bud, after putting into his pocket a face mask. The alarm was soon spread and the sheriff set out to find the horse thief. Of course, when the animal was discovered with Bud's saddle there seemed no doubt as to who had stolen it, and when Bud was found with the mask in his pocket, assurance was made doubly sure. He was arrested. Shortly after that the jail was broken into by a mob and Bud was taken out to be lynched. Meanwhile Dan and one of his pals quarreled over the money that Fitzroy had given them and Dan shot his pal. Cleo passed in an automobile, found the wounded man, and he told her the whole story. Cleo rushed with all speed to the jail and from there followed the mob, arriving just in time to save Bud.
