A Bride Won by Bravery (1909)
A ranchman out in the woolly West while sitting on his porch receives a letter, as follows: "Dear Uncle Jack: Brother and I leave New York for Arizona to spend our summer vacation with you. Will arrive Monday, 14th. Please meet us at the station. Your loving niece, Inez." The uncle sends his buggy to the station where Inez and her brother are received by the cowboys. Joe, one of the cowboys, falls in love with the beautiful girl and shows her all kinds of attention. While in the woods picking flowers, Inez is surprised by greasers with the intent to rob her. Joe comes up in time to drive the robbers off and in return is rewarded with a sweet kiss. He guides the girl to the Colonel's home, but is rudely driven away by the Colonel who does not wish one of his cowboys to pay attention to his niece. In her room Inez writes the following note to Joe: "Dear Mr. Joe: I ask your forgiveness for Uncle's rudeness and thank you for your bravery displayed in my behalf. Will see you at the bridge at seven. Inez." The seventh hour sees the couple together at the bridge. The evening being cool, the cowboy takes his kerchief and fastens it around Inez's neck. After a walk Inez returns to her uncle's home. She forgets all about the kerchief. The uncle recognizes the same and is furious about his niece's disobedience. He tells her to prepare to go home and sends a note of discharge to Joe. While Inez is getting ready for her departure a greaser looks through the window and, noticing all the presents the Colonel gives the young lady, decides to hold her up and rob her. The time has come for the departure. Uncle, nephew and niece enter the buggy to drive to the station. Four of the greasers have taken to the woods and hold up the party. They bag the girl and bind her brother and the Colonel to the trees. Happily Joe comes this way. He frees the Colonel and at once mounts a horse to give the alarm. In a moment the cowboys are in pursuit. They track the greasers at their hiding place, a fierce struggle ensues, the greasers are overpowered, roped and led away to be strung to the next tree. The girl is returned to her uncle, who does no longer object to the marriage of the two young people whom destiny brought together.
