A Western Feud (1911)

John Randell and Bill Canby have been neighbors since boyhood, so that when the former's son and the latter's daughter announced their intention of being married in June, great was the rejoicing in both families. It was thus that matters stood when Canby called to see his friend in regard to buying a bay mare, which in Randell's eyes was a perfect little animal. In this respect, however, Canby was forced to contradict him, and as a consequence, a heated argument arose. Hurrying home, Canby surprised his daughter, Nellie, by ordering her sweetheart, Jack Randell, from the place. Nevertheless, no sooner did she find the coast clear, than the girl mounted her horse and started for the Randell ranch. On the way, however, she met Jack, who had been using every argument in his power with his father, but to no avail. So, after talking the matter over, the young people decided to be married at once, and accordingly set out for the minister's. It was then that an exciting chase followed, for in the meanwhile, both son and daughter had been missed; so shrewdly guessing their whereabouts, the two angry fathers, accompanied by the boys from both ranches, started in pursuit. But thanks to the swiftness of their horses, the young lovers not only reached the minister's, but had actually been pronounced man and wife before the pursuers burst into the room, to be confronted by two smiling faces, before which, after a little coaxing and a few well-chosen words on the part of the good clergyman, the fathers' anger gradually melted, and to the intense relief of the happy bride and groom, they clasped hands.
