The Cowboy's Chicken Dinner (1914)
Juniper Jones, a cowboy camp cook out of a job, gets a place as chef of a ranch, and all goes smoothly until the boss demands a chicken for the next day's breakfast. There isn't a chicken in camp, and Jones is up against it. He rushes to town, but cannot buy, beg, borrow or steal a chicken anywhere. On the railway station platform he happens to see a crated fowl addressed to Mlle. Gabo, a celebrated vaudeville actress. The bird is her trained white leghorn, valued at $10,000, but to Jones it is only a chicken, and a life saver for him. He leaves two dollars as a fair price, and seizing the chicken, bikes back to the ranch. The boss enjoys his breakfast so much that be gives Jones a holiday. In town the cowboy cook meets the chicken trainer, out looking for the thief. At the sight of her gun, Jones does not stay to explain, but beats it clear over the Mexican border.
