The boy refuses their offers, and the railroad men seek the aid of the ranch foreman. The latter, by misrepresentation, beguiles the boy's mother into signing a document, but the railroad men tell him the boy's signature must also be obtained. Meeting the boy in town, the foreman attempts to obtain his signature to the deed, but fails. A quarrel ensues, and as the foreman attacks him with a heavy bottle the boy, in self defense, fires. The foreman falls, and the boy makes his escape. A posse is quickly formed and sent in pursuit of him. He reaches the schoolhouse, where he sees the school teacher's horse tethered beside the door. In his need he urges the girl to lend him her house, and she consents. When the posse arrives in search of him, the girl denies having seen him. But an unruly pupil, with a grudge against the teacher for having punished him, tells the sheriff what he knows and when the boy returns with the horse, as he has promised, the posse is waiting for him. At that moment, however, a messenger rides up and hands the sheriff a note which reads: "Jackson died of heart failure. No sign of bullet wound on him."
