[WORD?]

An immense audience, as usual, greeted Buffalo Bill and his company at the opera house Friday evening - another welcome to his native heath. It was a profitable audience, for the ticket sales amounted to $735. Buffalo Bill progresses with [word?] his dramas, and as an actor; his drama of "Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Pledge is greatly superior in sensible plot and realistic scenes to any of the previous sensational representation of [word?] shooting, Indian killing performances he had offered here every season nearly for a decade. There is humor in it, mingled with real good, sober sentiment, and the audience laughed and were [word?] by pathetic incidents by turns - and enjoyed the play greatly. There is some fine shooting, laughable mule tricks, and numerous pioneer pranks mingled with the sober scenes. His latest drama is Cody's greatest success.
