THE SCOOUTS OF THE PLAINS-----The original heroes, Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack,
with a large dramatic comapny, among
whom is the peerless Morlacchi, will pre-
sent the "Scouts of the Plains," at the Opera
House this evening. Buffalo Bill was
christended William F. Cody, and by serv-
ing a term in the Nebraska Legislature, The
"Hon" Has been affixed. His father was
killed in the early Kansas troubles. He
has been chief of scouts for the Government
for several years, and under his guidance
General Carr, General Custar, and General
Crooke have gained many of their successes,
and he is noted as one of most successful
Indain fighters in the frontier. The title
Buffalo Bill was given to him years ago for
his efficiency as a hunter of the wild bison
on the great plains.
Texas Jack was born in Virginia, and is
a lineal descendat of the once famed Pow-
hattan tribe, of the historical Pocohontas,
whose blood ran through the veins of Vir-
ginia's noble son, Randolph.
Reserved seats to the entertainment may
be had at Ayres Bros.
