The Water Rights War

Grueff and Steve, two ranchers, quarrel over the water rights of their ranches. Steve saves Grueff's daughter, Mabel, in a runaway and the young people become fast friends. Later he attempts to monopolize the water rights and has his men erect a wire fence. Grueff, being warned of Steve's operations, proceeds to the scene with a number of farm hands and arrests the young man for trespassing. Grueff in his capacity of town marshal, locks Steve in the jail and hides the key under his pillow, fearing that Mabel will attempt to liberate her sweetheart. His precautions prove unavailing as Mabel secures the keys that night and frees the prisoner. In the morning Grueff finds that Steve has made his escape and he discovers a note, reading, "Steve says you can have your old stream; he has taken me instead. Your loving daughter, Mabel." Steve and Mabel ride to the village justice of the peace and are happily married. When they return home, Grueff decides to forgive them, now that there is a combination of interests.
