A thrilling Western drama, holding the closest attention of the audience and causing rounds of applause. There is plenty of blood- tingling action, with rushing horses and just enough gun play to punctuate the picture. A woman is stolen and in a cabin alone with her captor struggles fiercely to escape from his clutches. Just as he has nearly overcome her, the door is broken in by a huge stone and her husband fells the half-breed and saves her. Then follows a fierce struggle between the two men, which ends when others appear and tie the half-breed and lead him away. There is no counterfeiting in these struggles. Clothing is torn off and there is every evidence of reality. The holdup in the woods is realistic. A striking novelty is the punishment. Instead of hanging the half-breed the cowboys tar and feather and ride him away on a rail to the accompaniment of rattling volleys from revolvers. The picture is clearly photographed and represents a satisfactory development in the output of this firm. - The Moving Picture World, November 27, 1909
