HARRISoNBURG, Va, Aug. r.
Rockingham County authorities In
vestigating the unexplained death of
George NJ. Nicholas, the wealthy her
NIT farmer, of Port Republic, have
discovered most extraordinary affairs
in the old mans life. He died last
week after drinking coffee. Three
others who drank with him were
made desperately Ill. His stomach
is in a chemical laboratory at Rich
mond, Va, for examination, while
the county authorities await a report.
Worth a quarter of a million, the
old man lived with an aged house
keeper in squalor in a ifteen-room
mansion bare OF all furniture.
He always wrote his checks on
scraps of paper. Once he Is said to
have written a check for a large
amount on the margin of a news
paper. He was a veteran of the
Confederate army and wore a wooden
leg. Blooded horses Of hifh value
died of old age upon his farm because
the man could not get the price he
demanded.
Nicholas died unmarried, leaving
four brothers.
