On Panther Creek (1910)
Alonzo Starrett is a prospector along the Panther Creek and discovers a rich pocket of black sand with nuggets and dust galore. His good fortune is overseen by Jim Garrison, an outlaw who seeks to rob Starrett of his treasure. Starrett fights desperately for his little fortune but is badly wounded in the leg and falls helpless into the water while the robber makes away with the precious treasure. Starrett's horse makes its progress home and the appearance of the riderless animal alarms Bessie Starrett, the pretty daughter of the prospector, who mounts the sagacious animal and is carried to the scene of the fight. Starrett is conscious and has managed to stop the flow of the blood with his handkerchief. Bessie aids him to mount the horse and they make their slow progress toward home. The nearest neighbor is Bud Bronson, a young prospector who lives a mile or more down the creek. To him Bessie gives a description of the outlaw and Bud rides for the Sheriff while Bessie returns to give comfort to her father. Soon the Sheriff and his assistant are on the trail of Jim accompanied by Bud. Jim has made a good getaway but he is unmounted while the others have fleet steeds and presently for a moment to finger the gold and looks up to encounter the stern eye of the Sheriff and feel the pressure of a business-like gun. Slowly his hands go up and he is disarmed and bound and led off to meet the fate of the desperado in a law-abiding community. Bud takes the recovered gold and makes his way to the Starrett cabin where he returns to the old gold seeker the little bag. Bud always has made it very plain that he liked Bessie but the parental smile was rather frosty. Now there is a thaw and the elder Starrett makes it evident that he is grateful to Bud, leaving the rest to him and Bud, being an enterprising young man, loses no time.
