He then goes on his route but is waylaid by three outlaws who stab him and get away with the mailbag. True to his oath to deliver the mail, the Indian drags himself after the outlaws and surprises them at a lonely spot just as they are going through the mail. He steals a revolver out of one's pocket and with three well directed shots, fells the robbers. He then picks up the mail and even though wounded to death, drags himself to the next station. He is seen by cowboys who come to his rescue but it is too late; the loss of blood was too great. He delivers the mail and having performed his last duty, he expires. The vision of an angel appears, crowning him with a laurel wreath for duty well performed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
