The Sheriff's Brother (1911)

John Stockton, the sheriff, and his brother, Frank, are in love with Anna, and Frank wins her hand. Frank and his bride are in their new home, and he sets his rifle up against the wall. It slips to the ground and is discharged, hitting the woman. Knowing the impulsiveness of the westerners, especially in the case where a woman's death is concerned, Frank hides in the hills, leaving a note telling of the accident. The mob starts in pursuit, but the sheriff, fearing a lynching, holds them back and himself goes after his brother and brings him back. Frank is protected and is given a fair trial, in which he is exonerated.
