The Suspect (1913)
Three horse thieves take some horses from a ranch. A reward of $500 is offered for the capture of the thieves. Bill, a cowboy, sees the notice and later sees the stolen horses in Frank's yard, the thieves having seen him coming and having turned in while the place was empty. He rides off and informs the sheriff. Frank is employed on a nearby ranch and is given a note to take to a distant ranch. He rides home soon after the thieves have gone, having passed them and questioned them regarding the led horses. Frank's wife is out and he leaves a note saying he has gone to Oak Crest. Mary returns and sees the note and tosses it on the table, annoyed at his absence. The sheriff arrives, tells her that Frank is suspected and that the horses were seen in his yard and that he must have gone off with them. They see the note at the same time and reach for it, but the sheriff is quicker. He goes and summons a posse and rides after Frank. Mary is puzzled, but determined to warn Frank at all hazards. She mounts her horse and goes after him. The horse thieves see Frank coming, and believing he is after them, ambush him and gag and bind him and hide him in the bushes where they camp for the night. Mary is distracted as night approaches, but is persistent. She sees a hat by the roadside, dismounts and leaving her horse tethered, she creeps up to the camp, takes one of the horse thieves' guns, which lies by his side and releases Frank. The two of them hold up the rustlers, and hearing the sheriff and posse approaching, Mary runs out and halts them. Frank and Mary decide to deliver the note together and promise to call for the reward upon their return.
