Boise, Ida. April ga dispatch
from Silver City says that George

day. 1t was at first thought 1t was
case OF suicide, but on examination
the bullet was found TO have entered
the back OF the neck coming out on
the forehead His siX-shooter was al
so by his side, with one chamber emp
ty, which gave color TO the suicide
theory, but the shot that killed him
was a 25-30 and could not have been
done with his six-shooter. There is
no clue to the murderer
Nichols lived alone at his ranch and
had been q resident OF Owyhee county
for years. He had accumulated con
siderable property. He had no rela-
tives here, the only one known being
Fred Sperry, who lives in Washing
