"The show now being run at Omaha by a few first class grafters does not
seem to be drawing like a mustard plaster, except to those who put up the
dough to start it. It would not be a surprise if it pettered out long
before Nov. 1. Whether the show is any good or not (name withheld) is
not prepared to say but to judge it from the gang (managing it), it is
impossible to imagine how it could be any good... It might prove a
success were it not for the various hold-ups visiters meet at the
hotels and hash factories in Omaha. Every one treat visitors as though
he were the last they expect, and the robber rates they charge will
prevent thousands from going... for who ever goes will... be bled to a
finish."
