Ned Buntline, Buffalo Bill & Co., performed at
Lyceum Hall last evening. We notice that the
fierce-Red Rover and a member of his troupe
got into trouble in Portland. Buntline had him
arrested for stealing but the arrested man was
discharged and them went for Buntline, suing
him for non-payment of his wages, and again
for false imprisionment, laying the damages at
$20,000. As the troupe had to perform at Lewiston
in the evening it was necessary for him
to take the 1 P. M. train and his being detained
at Portland would be a seriuos draw back to
him. At one time, says the Argua, he offered
$700 to settle it. A compromise was affected
afterwards, and the big trapper went to delight
the Lewistionians with his gunpowder and
Indians.
