Dispatch, 15th Anthony Bovee, an old umbrella mender, living the life of a hermit in a cave near here, has fallen heir to one third of an estate of $3,000,000 in France. Bovee was injured in battle during the rebellion from which he has never recovered and he is considered rather unsound mentally. When he told his story to friends in Beaver Falls a week ago it was not considered true. Yesterday, however, and attorney from the East visited Beaver Falls for the purpose of getting data from Bovee, which will substantiate his claims to the fortune. John Jean Bovee, an extensive iron manufacturer of France, died ten years ago and Anthony, with two brothers, one who lives in Crawford, Pa., and the other not found yet, are the heirs.
