| 133BUFFALO BILL.
"The Red Right Hand" will be presented
to-morrow night, at the Opera
House. Besides the attraction of Hon.
W. F. Cody, Buffalo Bill himself, who
is known to fame as chief of scouts in
Gen. Terry's command during the late
Indian war, the character of Captain
Jack will be supported by Captain Jack
Crawford, poet scout in the Black Hills,
under Gen. Crook. The play, written by
Col. Prentiss Ingraham, expressly
for this combination, is founded
at the late Sioux war, in which General
Custer and the Seventh Cavalry were
massacred-- one of the principal incidents
introduced being the slaughtering of
Yellow Hand, one of the Cheyenne
chiefs, by Buffalo Bill. who then had the
honor of capturing the first scalp in revenge
for Custer. The performance will
conclude each evening with "Sketches
in India." | 133BUFFALO BILL.
