STORY OF JIM ROCK (( on 11 nurd from 1’iure One) were travelling' musicians but broke up their outfit and quit the business. Jim Rock. Reeky's brother, settled in Marion township. Today, Policeman Donnohue ran a gang of tramps out of town and among them was the original “Rocky,’ who recognized the officer. Rocky said he had been on the road all the time and he locked it. The brother in Marion township is said to be the finest looking man

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY When we do sin, we should make a clean breast of it and get a new start: I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity did I not hide. 1 said I will confess my transgression into Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 32:5.

in that township of fine looking men," Jim Rock, then not more than five years old, found his way to the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry j Nichols, east of Fillmore, where he | offered to play his violin for them I if they would give him something to \

but he drove the flock

of geese up to the house, instead of the cows. He didn't know what a

cow was.

Not very long after, a bizarre, exotic looking woman came to Greencastle a.nd sought, through the court, to gain possession of the little Italian. “He is my dear little son,’’ she said, but when she came into court and advanced toward little Jim with her amis outstretched he screamed and clung tightly to Mrs. Nichols. The court overruled the petition of the stranger Some years later, she j again appealed here and made an- j other efforts to get him. She lost that time, too, but her persistence so worried the Nichols that they formally adopted Jim as their own son. He then became known as Jim

Nichols.

It is assumed the woman, who ic said to have come from St. Louis, heard of little Jim through the man who had taken him to Fillmore, and laid plans to get him and use him virtually as had the ma.n. Jim Rock Nichols was industrious, and developed a keen sensq in mercantile business. He had a store in Fillmore, then one in Indianapolis. But, when he was, possibly, less than 45 years old, he went on a trip West with some other Fillmore men and. on the return, stopped off at Hot Springs, Ark. In 1902. Mr. Nichols received a telegram from Hot Springs that Jim had died from diptheria, and Mr. Nichols was told to send money for expenses, which he did. But the request for money aroused suspicions, because it was known that dim had $500 or $600 with him at Hot Springs. However, his body was sent here and through the glass of the hermetically sealed casket it was observed that his neck was badly swollen which would likely occur in'” a death-from diptheria. Jim Rock Nichols, although his remains were buried in the Fillmore cemetery 40 years ago, he is yet remembered as a very fine citizen. Hif achievement is especially noteworthy because of the circumstances of hir early years, but he himself, if he were yet living, would say that what he became was due, mostly, to the love a.nd sympathetic help of Mr. and Mrs. Nichols.

The little church, which accommolates 30 persons, is always open to visitors, and last year 3,800 people from 40 states came to see the chapel. The structure was built in 1856 by Michael Decker as a thank offering for his recovery from an injury.

GERMANS ON DEFENSE

LONDON, Dec. 6 (UP)- Red troops have forced the Germans on ihe defensive in the Klin sector and have stopped them in nearly all other sectors of the Moscow front by brilliant artillery work and powerful counter-attacks, Russian dispatches said today. A notable stiffening of the Russian defense of the capital came after 19 days during which the Red army, • utnumbere.l in tanks and men, had fought stubbornly for every yard of ground along a great semi-circular front. The pursuit of the retreating Germans on the southern front was continuing. The Germans were trying vainly to make a stand along the Mius river west of Taganrog while main forces, still retreating precipitately, were staggering under the •flashing of Don. Kuban and Tersk Cossack cavalrymen, racing tanks and bombing and fighting airplanes, it was said. SUSPENSE GROWS
