The Steadfast Heart

Young Angus Burke accidently shoots the sheriff, who is leading a posse to get the boy's father, a thief. Angus' mother dies, and he is taken to trial alone. Found not guilty, he is given a job with the local newspaper office. He leaves when several citizens object to his presence, only to return several years later. He takes over the newspaper and saves the townspeople from a gang of crooks.
