Abstract	An undated issue of the Nelson brothers' periodical covering stories of adventure and battles as well as news from around their fictional world. The front page indicates it was "published by Walter Nelson and Co." This issue, presented in a two-column format, begins with chapter 2 of the story "Chased by Indians" by Walter Nelson. In this chapter Hiram hides from the Indians and makes it safely to Mountain City where he is welcomed by his worried family. The news section follows this story and covers news and developments from around the Nelson brothers' fictional world including Big Continent and New Poplington among others. The final page features advertisements for various imaginary companies.
