"Buffalo Bill."
The "Red Right Hand" with Buffalo Bill and company appeared at the Opera House last evening, The upper portion of the house was packed with people, the gallery particularly containing one of the largest crowds of the scouts' admirers that has ever been stored away in its confines. The play hasn't much of a plot, but the action is quick, the scenes thrilling, and the acting fair, so that all plot is lost sight of in the varying excitements and enthusiasm of the effects. The play is also somewhat instructive as regards the geography and life of the Black Hills. "Buffalo Bill" is a good scout and not a bad actor, while the company is above the average. The entertainment gave the best of satisfaction, and the applause was loud and frequent.

Buffalo Bill's Combination.
Last evening Buffalo Bill, with his combination, appeared at the Opera House to an audience that filled the place to overflowing. Every seat was taken and standing room monopolized. The play, "The Red Right Hand, or Buffalo Bill's First Scalp for Custer," is a blood and thunder play, yet so interesting were many rose in their seats and watched the actors breathlessly. Mirth, fights and love were combined, and it is enough to say that the audience watch the whole play through with great interest. The company is a good one, and the play is well put on. We predict crowded houses for them through the lower region. The company plays at Edenburg to-night.
