"Scouts of the Praraie". In every city and town where the "Scouts of the Praraie" have appeared they have universally been greeted by crowded houses, and Haverbill was no exception, for in spite of the inclement wether of last evening, City Hall was literally packed to its utmost capacity, by those who were desirous of witnessing not only the play itself, but those renowned celebrities, "Buffalo Bill," "Texas Jack" and "Wild Bill," of whom nearly every school boy in the country has read.

"The Scouts" is a drama of the most exciting, thrilling and sensational nature. The spectator witnesses in the scene before him the perils and dangers of a pioneer life in all its various phases. "Buffalo Bill" is the real hero of the play. It is he, who, hearing the sad story of Uncle Henry Carter, of his being robbed of his children by that first-class renegade, Jim Daws, swears that he will "take his life's blood, or die in the attempt." Then follows all those ever varying features, without which the play would not be complete, and finally ending with a deadly encounter between the two men, resulting in the death of Daws. Throught, "Texas Jack" and "Wild Bill" are conspicuous, dealing heavy blows to the savages here and there, oftentimes captured, and brought to the stake, the death song is sung, the firs kindled, and then the time rescue. The audience sees frequent exhibits of that true heroism and valor which ever marks the life of the hardy pioneer in the western wilds.

"But "yea verily," Ebenezer Langlank, Government Peace Commissioner, with his broad brim hat, should not be passed without a favorable notice. In this character are demonstrated the wonderful(?) effects of the much-heard-of efforts to civilize the savage Indian. "Nicholas" too does his share in the mirth provoking part, while "Kiowa" the friendly Indian Chief, "Pale Dove," and in fact the entire troupe are each equal to the occasion. It is suffice to say that whenever the "Scouts" shall again appear in Haverhill they will be welcomed by a crowded house.
