Austin, Texas, March 29-Albert
Nichols. who had the distinction Of BE-
Ing the nrst man to drive : herd Of
cattle from Texas to California, died
at his home here few days ago. Few
other men ever attempted the hazard
GUS trip. He was seventy-one years
old.
Mr.. Nichols belonged to the old type
OF Western ranchmen. He drove many
herds OF cattle up the Chisholm trail
and encountered bad men and hostile
bands Of Indians times almost without
number. It was his trip from Texas
to California, in 1855, however. that he
regarded a. the most eventful expe-
renee Of his long life Of adventure
Ranches Demoralized.
In the days Immediately following
the close Of the civil war the ranch
business in this State was in demon
allied condition. Mr.. Nichols learned
that q good market existed in Califor-
MIA for cattle, and he resolved to try
the experiment Of driving a big herd
to that remote region in the hope Of
deriving big profit on the venture.
He collected about five thousand
head and started them West In the
spring Of 1865. The outfit consisted Of
only twenty-five trained cowboys,
every man being an expert shot and a
tried hand at shooting Indians.
They took the southern trail from
the vicinity of San Antonio. They had
not been long on the way when the
Apache and other Indians began to
give them trouble. The willy redskins
regarded the big herd Of cattle with
covetous eyes. II they could stampede
and cut out q big bunch Of the animals
and land them across the river In Mex
leo they could obtain handsome pro-
fit on their exploit:
It took constant watchfulness and
care on the part Of Mr. Nichols and his
cowboys to prevent the loss Of the en-
tire herd by Indians. In the region
between San Antonio and where Ell
Paso now stands several night attacks
were made upon the camp by Indians.
In these fights the Indians were driven
on with losses and the herd was held
together.

SEATTLE THINKS
ROLLER MATCH
ON THE SQUARE

SEATTLE, June 10.-'Believe me
this match is going to be square, no
matter how many frame-ups you
may have had before" said Jack
Curley yesterday morning to a skep-
teal newspaperman.
Curley seems to have made good,
for last night, for the first time in
his home town, with the exception
of his match with Gotch, DR.. B. F.
Roller was vanquished in straight
falls. Zbyszko, dreadnaught fly
ing the Turkish flag, did the work.
Crushing strength and superior
weight wore Roller down, and when
the physicians speed was gone, he
crumbled under the Poles offense.
Zbyszko won the first fall in one
hour and 52a minutes, after the
most terrific struggle ever seen on
a local mat. Roller came back for
the second fall exhausted and was
tossed in 10 minutes.
The photographer seemed to
have the best of things early in the
match. He was the aggressor, and
was far faster than the Polander.
But when Roller had gained fully
20 holds that should have thrown
his man, and Zbyszko had remained
stuck to the mat like a concrete
abutment, the house knew what the
finish would be.
For the first time in the last year
and a half, in a Roller match, no
one cried fake"
