The pony did not lie still and rather spoiled the effect
by deickemeyer2017-09-10

"There is some good photography in this Indian picture and the forepart of it is strongly presented. Ortega has visions of the civilization described to him by the white man and leaves Mona to go to college. The pale face boys put up a theft on him and he starts to walk home in disgust. The weak part of the story is its ending. Mona, for some unknown reason, poisons the water in the spring and her lover dies. Seeing this, she and her pony also drink and die; but the pony did not lie still and rather spoiled the effect. - The Moving Picture World, June 7, 1913..."
