 PHOENIX, Arizona, Jan. d. Tex Rickard, who braved Alaska to find gold and later became the premier snowman of the world, didn't want his "Ma" to know that he had gone to the Yukon.

 They were written in an almost illegible scrawl The spelling was poor. When he was twenty seven years old Rickard left his job as town marshal of Henriet- ta, Texas, to follow the Gold rush. The letter referred to was written December g, 1895 from Juneau, and told of how he had acquired his nickname.
 Dear old friend, we had a jolly good trip to this country. Like old times. Everybody has money. By the way, I got nickname. People on the boat call me Tex. Everybody in Juneau calls me that. It will stay with me as long as I stay here, said the let ter.
