The Prairie Scouts. A very large audience came out on Saturday evening to witness the novel entertainment provided for them by the famous Ned Buntline, or as he is less known, Col. E. Z. 0. Judson. The performance was like itself and like nothing else ever produced on the stage. It was full of strange and thrilling situations and startling efforts and all produced by characters who themselves have passed through somewhat similar scenes in real life. Hon. Wm. F. Cody, or as he is better known, "Buffalo Bill," and J. B. Omohundro or "Texas Jack," splendid specimens of physical manhood wore very prominent in the play and so pleased the audience that they were brought before the curtain and, the first-named made a brief speech. Ned Buntline's temperance speech is one of the best things in the play and would make a man's fortune on the lecture platform. No one can wonder at the immense success of the place or that It creates such an excitement where it Ls produced. Bessie Sudlow both In the first play and in the main performance displayed much ability as an actress and was very pleasing, while Fletcher and Davenport, with their inimitable brogue, singing, and dancing, added immensely to the entertainment, The Bill will be repeated this evening and those who wish to see something that they have never seen before and are not likely to see soon again if ever, will assuredly be on hand.
