It would be niether instructive nor entertainling
to follow the play through in detail. It
might be guessed from its titled that whites and
Indians, whose feeling toward one another
are not of the most friendly character,
would appear in about equal numbers;
that each act would end with a grand tableau
terminating a general scrimmage in which the
dead and wonded appear by scores and
in which the Indians invariblae get the worst of
it; that it would abound in barbrearth escapes,
and that . the scout would always turn up just in
the nick of time; the whole endingwith a happy
denounement, adding considerably to the aggorgate
of aboriginal scalps, of the dome covered
fort. All this it does and more. The audiences
it has thus far drawn and is likely to draw are not
critical ones, and the numberless anachronisms
and incongruities in which it abounds will
not detract from its popularity. It is a
kind of truple warfare between the scouts,
the indians, and a party of renegae whites, one
of whom managed to keep gloriously drunk,
though the impossibility of geeting a drop of
liquor is abundantly demonstrated. The second
act is deveted mainly to the kiling of Carl
Durg ("Ned Buntline") and its necessary antecednets,
be rushing unarmed, in the most inexcusable
and uncalled-for manner into the midst of
twenty or more of his mortal enemeis. The
second act avenges his death and does it most
throughly and successfuly, the incidents of the
performer being the [word?] of an Indian
by one of the scouts, the shooting of
another Indian by another scout, and the
scalping of both.
