Western Justice (1910)
Two prospectors are partners, sharing their life and their luck until the inevitable girl crosses their path. She cannot marry both, and when she makes her choice the other meets the situation bravely. He congratulates his pal, but he knows that the old-time partnership no longer is possible and there is a division of the gold dust and nuggets. This division is observed through the window by a Mexican half-breed, who follows the disappointed man along the trail until he is able to force him over the cliff. The action is observed by an Indian girl who has earlier been insulted by the Mexican, the insult being resented by the prospector. Now the woman hurries to her home and tells her husband of the murder. He takes the trail of the murderer, while the woman mounts a horse rides to the camp to warn the white men. There is a hurried call to saddles and the angry cowboys ride madly toward the base of the cliff where lies the body of the murdered man. Meanwhile the Indian has stalked the Mexican and the latter seeks to throw him off. There is a struggle in which the Mexican is badly hurt and he creeps to a deserted cabin to hide. Ascending to an upper story, he draws up the ladder which serves in place of a stairway, and when the men enter in search of him he is not to be seen. They are about to leave, convinced that he has made good his escape, when one of the men rests his hand upon the post which supports the ceiling beam. A drop of blood stains his white cuff, and looking up they perceive its source. The Mexican is quickly routed from his hiding place, and with a rope around his neck is taken from the shack to face Western justice of the summary kind.
