place of Rickard and he kept de
tails of battles in his own brain
J rarely using records. Only twice
in his career was he wrong both
of these happening last summer
jwhen the Jimmy McLarnin-Sammy
Mandell bout cost him $100,000, and
on the Gene Tunney-Tom Heeney
bout on which he lost $300,000.
WAS WOOD CHOPPER
Rickard was born in Kansas
City on January 2,1870, growing
up on a cattle ranch in Texas. He
joined the Klondike gold rush in
1895 landing at Juneau with anoth
er cowboy. They lugged sleds
through Chilkoot Pass to the head
of the Yukon River. He struck it
rich in the Bonanza strike coming
out with a profit of $60,000 He set
up a gambling hall and saloon in
Dawson where one night a band
of miners wiped out the roulette
and faro games and “Tex” was
forced to chop wood,
i He swung an axe for five months
besides Rex Beach. In 1899 he hik
ed to Nome and set up a saloon
with only $35. In four years he
made $500,000 most of which he
lost in Barren gold claims.
TIRED OF ALASKA
Tiring of Alaska he returned to
San Francisco, then to Goldfield
where he started a dance hall.
Sourdoughs recalled Rckard as a
gambler who made his word good
and that he was the best liked
man during the gold rush. The rep
utation of the “Northern”, his
Nome gambling house, spread all
over Alaska as a gentleman’s re
sort, declared H. S. Turner, now a
Seattle realtor.
Rickard's mother, Mrs. L. J. Ad
ams of Seattle, 81, was dry-eyed
when told of his death. She ex
pressed regret she had refused his
invitetion to visit him in New Yorx
this winter because of the cold.
Upon the arrival of the body in
New York on Tuesday the body
will rest in state until buried
there.
KILLED IN MINE
Sam Tomoff, 36, died in Juneau
as a result of injuries received
while at work at the Alaska Ju
neau mine. He had lived in Ju
neau about two years. He was a
Russian and employed as a rock
blaster.
