An Indian Eclipse (1914)
Lawson is a new Indian Agent at the Beaver Creek Reservation. Muriel, a local girl, makes friends with the agent, to the disgust of Jim Hill, a dissolute trapper, who follows her, jumps into her wagon and drives her horse at break-neck speed from the village. Lawson sees the act, mounts his horse, and overtakes the wagon. In revenge the trapper slays an Indian and then tells the Chief that he saw Lawson kill him. Lawson and the girl are captured by the Indians and brought to their village as prisoners. Beaver Tail is the son of the Chief, and a recent graduate from Carlisle. Being a warm friend of Lawson, he assists in the latter's release. Lawson finds an old almanac in his pocket and notes that an eclipse of the sun is due. He plots with Beaver Tail to fool the Indians and so Beaver Tail tells the Chief that Lawson will prove his innocence by a sign from Ti-ra-wa (the Indian god). As the eclipse comes on, Lawson points dramatically to the sky. The darkness over, Lawson is released. He takes Muriel home and on the way, while crossing a deep ravine on a log bridge, Hill attempts to follow and attack them. In doing so, he slips and falls to his death.
