About this issue

This issue of Diamond Dick, Jr.—The Boys' Best Weekly (No. 260, October 5, 1901) contains the serial "Diamond Dick's Daring Deeds," featuring Chapters VII and VIII. Deputy McBride arrives with news of a dangerous escaped lunatic named Emory Skidmore, a deranged prospector loose in the mining district who has murdered and wounded multiple men. Meanwhile, miners from the night shift report encountering a mysterious armed figure underground at the Comet Mine, suggesting the man may be either Skidmore or the outlaw gambler Morgan, seeking to sabotage the operation with explosives. Diamond Dick organizes his own night shift team to hunt the intruder. Concurrently, deputy sheriff Harlow Burton arrives with the captured gambler Morgan in custody, having pursued him from Cochise on murder charges. The narrative interweaves frontier mining operations, gunplay, and criminal pursuit.
