    This is a decided improvement over the conventional Western scenarios

    A picture of Western bad man and sheriff, but one with more freshness and novelty than usual. The sheriff got the man, wanted for bank- breaking, and secured the stolen money. The man was handcuffed in a room of the hotel while the sheriff waited for a chance to take him to jail. The sheriff began to gamble at the faro table; presently he had lost all the money he captured. This pleased the bad man greatly. He made a compact with the sheriff to get the money back by stealing it and kept his promise, although it cost him his life and he might have escaped. This is a decided improvement over the conventional Western scenarios. The picture is well conducted, although there are two scenes in it in which the bad man rolls down a steep embankment. It is speedy and very interesting. - The Moving Picture World, January 13, 1912
