Later, Dan strikes ore, and Saunders tries to steal the claim but is beaten by Dan. Saunders kills Lang in an argument; and Dan, accused of the crime, is about to be lynched when Ranger arrives with a note from Bessie, who has been kidnapped; Bessie is rescued from the villain's clutches and reunited with Dan.
