An Excellent Performance.

"The Indian Hero" was presented by an
excellent company at Ferguson's theatre
last evening. The plot is founded on an
actual occurrence, namely the Mountain
Meadow Massacre, and is carefully
worked out. Roland Ranger, the hero,
was orphaned by the Indians the night of
the massacre aud would himself have
been slain had not Gerernimo, the famous
Sioux Chieftain, rescued and raised him.
The events of the play de Il with Roland's
life after he reaches manhood. There is a
pretty love story running through the
play. Mr. Richard Anderson, in the role
of Roland Ranger, made an emphatic
hit. Mr.. w. f. Allen kept the audience
In one continuous uproar. Miss May
Marena, the champion lady rifle shot,
assumed the role of Lenora Primrose, and
her characterization was most pleasing.
By special request of the management
the same piece will be produced this
evening.
