Young Wild West's Grub Stake and How It Made a Fortune This issue of *Wild West Weekly* (No. 329, February 5, 1909) features "Young Wild West's Grub Stake and How It Made a Fortune" by An Old Scout, a frontier adventure serial. The narrative opens with gunfire in a remote Colorado-Utah camp. A ragged prospector named Kent Springer flees two pursuing gunmen toward Young Wild West's camp. Wild intervenes decisively, shooting one attacker while the second retreats. Springer, desperate and destitute, reveals he knows the location of gold deposits but lacks provisions and tools. The story follows Wild and his companions—Cheyenne Charlie, Jim Dart, and the women (his sweetheart Arietta, Anna, and Eloise)—as they encounter this hounded prospector. Young Wild West, established as a wealthy "Champion Deadshot," demonstrates his characteristic cool courage and marksmanship while deciding to stake Springer, setting the plot toward fortune-hunting adventure.
