Catalog Note This issue of *Beadle and Adams* Weekly (No. 710, Vol. XXVIII) features the serial "Kodak Kate the Snap Shot" by Ed. L. Wheeler, author of the *Deadwood Dick* novels. The installment opens with Governor Woodlow meeting Detective Richard Bristol (Deadwood Dick Jr.), who accepts a case in San Francisco on behalf of the governor's friend, Judge Wynthorpe. The judge's young wife has been kidnapped by agents of Madoc Gowlrey, a imprisoned burglar, as leverage to secure his pardon. Police efforts have failed, and the judge fears political interference prevents appealing to the governor. Dick agrees to investigate, receiving instructions to collect letters under the alias "Denman Tremont" at the San Francisco post-office. The narrative depicts Dick's clever disguise as an elderly man to collect the letters while evading police surveillance. A woman with a Kodak camera photograph documents the pursuing detective. The installment concludes with Dick reading Judge Wynthorpe's correspondence containing case details and warnings of surveillance.
