--We had the pleasure last evening of
meeting Capt. Jack, poet scout, now a member
of the Buffalo Bill Combination. He is
a gentleman of culture and refinement, and
is an exception to the general rule of
frontiersman in the one fact that he
never touches a drop of liquor or
utters an oath, and that he is a fearless
and brave man, for a' that, there
are very few that are hardy enough to doubt.
We spent a very pleasant hour in drawing
him out in relation to his many personal
exploits among the Sioux and Cheyennes, in
the Black Hills.
