The Sheriff's Capture (1910)
Nell does not like sheriffs. The dislike is general and not confined to any particular official and she is rather pleased with Dick Land when he rides into the yard and asks for a drink of water until she spies his star and learns that he is looking for a couple of outlaws. The outlaws are in hiding in the house, but Nell assures the Sheriff that she is all alone and he rides on in search of the fugitives. The men come from the house and one fires after the departing official, who is badly wounded in the shoulder. Nell does not like sheriffs because she has been brought up to believe that they shoot men in the back instead of facing fire, and now her sympathies are all with the man who lies senseless and bleeding. The outlaws make their escape and she manages to gel the Sheriff into the house, improvising an ambulance from a door, the Sheriff's lariat and his horse. Then she rides for a physician to dress the wound and her indignation against the desperadoes who fought behind men's backs leads her to give information to the deputies as to their probable whereabouts. The deputies ride after the two men and the doctor and Nell return to the ranch where the Sheriff is soon made comfortable. The deputies make their capture and are highly elated, but the Sheriff makes a far more important capture and Nell prepares to serve a pleasant life sentence as his wife, for it was love at sight on both sides.
