A San Antonio Texan letter recounts the death of Mr. Nichols, an old Texian, killed by four Indians on the river above Kerrville on the 11th instant. Nichols hunted turkeys with two companions when a storm forced a retreat. His cry and a gunshot drew his companions back to find him slain and mutilated, the attackers armed with bows and arrows.
