BUFFALO BILL.
A Card from Mr. Craig Regarding the Evening
News.

EDITOR GAZETTE:- There appeared in
Tuesday evening's News the following:

The amusement public are expecting to
see "Buffalo Bill" at the opera house
soon. They will be fooled, however.
The gentleman who claims to be "Buffalo
Bill," is well known by reputation
in this city.

In reply, I desire to say that the above
is a false statement. The people will not
be fooled. "Buffalo Bill" (Hon. W. F.
Cody,) the celebrated scout, orator and
late member of Legislature of Nebraska,
will positively appear at Tootle's opera
house next Friday evening, October 7,
with his full acting company, troupe of
Sioux Indians, etc.

In this connection, I respectfully request
that whenever any paper desires to
criticise the opera house management, I
trust that only facts will be stated. The
public will agree with me that it is unfair
and unkind in any journal to make such
glaring misstatements as the above.

Very respectfully,
CORYDON F. CRAIG,
Manager Tootle's Opera House.
