Mr. Cody's resignation was read,
snow that he was not only honorably
[?], but greatly disappointed his many
[?] by refusing to enter in potential
[?], choosing rather than the ambtion of his
boyhood, that of becoming what he really
is, "a Knight of the Plains."

We know Mr. Cody well, having been
wth him in three campaigns among the
Indiands, the last being the memorable
Custer campaign of the Big Horn, against
[Sitting?] Bull. We hear kind witness that
Buffalo Bill is the idol of the army and the
fornitersman, and the dread of the Indian.

A BAND OF INDIANS

A new and nove feature of the Buffalo
Bill Combination this season is the intro-
duction of a genuine band of Indian
Chiefs, from the Pawnee and Ponda tribes
direct from their reservation in the Indi-
an Territory, under the immediate charge
of Mr. W. F. Cooy; also, Master Eddie
Burgese, or Pe-risk-y-la-shar, the Boy
Chief of the Pawnees, the youngest chief
of which any record is given among the
entire Indian nation. His rendering of
the "Wolf Dance" and the "Horse Dance"
are truly realistic.

BUFFALO BILL'S SHOOTING

The fancy rifle shooting of Buffalo Bill
is not offensive to ladies or sensitive peo-
ple as might be supposed. The rifle he
uses does not make a loud report. He
shoots with marvelous accuracy, standing
sitting, lying and stooping, backward and
forward, taking aim bakward from a
looking glass, etc.

Look out for the novel street parade,
Saturday, soon after the arrival of the
company. Buffalo Bill and his Indian
Chiefs mounted on horseback, will be led
by Mr. Cody's own Military Band.

The "blood and thunder" element of
border plays is not so prominent in Col.
Ingraham's drama, Knight of the Plains, and consequently the elite of the country
go to witness Buffalo Bill in his new play.

Read the synopsis, in another column,
of the "Knight of the Plains." It shows it to be a thrilling story of adventure, and then it is a sketch from real life.

The marvelous fancy rifle shooting done
by Buffalo Bill will [occur?] about nine
o'clock. Don't fail to see it. It is worth
the entire price of admission

The prairie on fite is the most realistic
scene ever put upon any stage.

The Buffalo Bill drama will draw large-
ly from the surrounding towns.

Secure your seats for the Buffalo Bill
entertainment.
