BASSICK'S BOOM.
A Poor WOOdsawyer Translated into

Special to the Star.

DENVER, Aug. 5.-A miner named f..
Dassick has just sold his claim near Rosita
to New York parties for nearly million
dollars. Barely three years ago Bassick
was undoubtedly the most poverty stricken
wretch in Rosita. He eked out a precari-
Gus living for himself and family by saw
ing wood and doing odd jobs but devoted
all OF his spare moments to prospecting.
When miner struck good pay streak he
remembered Bassick, and his family got the
crumbs and broken fragments from the
tables of the church festivals and surprise
parties. When Bassick wanted sack OF
-four or few pounds of groceries on
credit, the storekeepers, individually and
collectively, turned up their noses and
passed him by on the other side.
One day Bassick thought he would take a
turn among the foothills north of Rosita.
The ground had been thoroughly pros
pected before, and all the most promising
locations were staked, but Bassick plodded
on, and reaching the top of a small barren
butte, he mechanically went to work and
sunk a hole. At The depth of twenty feet
the pick went into peculiar formation
of yellow gravel and sand, something that
Dassick had never seen before, and he pre-
vailed on stranger to stand the expense of
an assay, when, to the astpnishment of all,
the stuff was found to run quite rich in
gold. Since then Bassick has been highly
respected and sought after. after the man

NAN, THE NEWSBOY.
His Terrific Struggle With a Victim Of
the Jim-J Jams.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star.
BROOKLYN, Aug. 5.-A very exciting
scene took place in the vicinity of Hamil-
ton avenue ferry yesterday, Man, the
neWsboy, and young man named Thos
DOYLE, being the principal actors Very
little OF Doyle's circumstances in life could
be ascertained. He is described as being
a respectfully attired individual Of twenty
five years who had induIged his taste for
whisky without any reference to the laws
of moderation. The public is already ac-
quantcd with the name of Nan, the news
boy Yesterday his path Of duty lay in the
wake OF an excursion. He was engaged by
Mr.. Starin, of tugboat fame, to go to Alpin
Grove with party of excursionists.
On such occasions he hitched his boat to
one of the barges, earning So for the dav,
and being in readiness at an appropriate
provocati"n to jump overheard. Tester-
day the barges made their last landing on
their outward voyage in the vicinity of the
ferry already named. Nan was lying at his
ease at full length in his boat when splash
attracted his attention. He turned to as
certain the cause OF it and saw a well-bui!t
youth struggling in the water. Quick as
thought Nan unloosed his boat, seized the
oars and pulled in the direction of the man,
Though the latter was rapidly becoming
exhausted he was lost TO the value OF friend
ly overtures, and received Mans interfer-
ence very much as though the newsboy's
intention lay in the direction Of an unpro-
voked assault.
Nothing daunted, Nan gripped his collar
and warded off the blows directed at him.
Five hundred people surged to the stem of
the barge and watched the contest, and a
number equally as large had already
gathered on the wharf. Two or three times
the boat came so near upsetting that
another inch Of immersion would have
swamped her but skilful maneuvcring
kept her right side up, and in less than five
minutes Doyle was PROSTATE in the boat.
He was making frantic efforts to get up,
but the conditions were unfavorable One
hundred and fifty pounds of humanity was
seated on his chest engaged in the some
what conflicting occupations Of holding
down a man afflicted with wel-developed
jim-jams and directing the boats bow
toward canal boat, near the ferry. When
the latter was finally reached half dozen
men took hand, and the desperate man
was soon securely bound.

UWINDLING DOWN.
The Dorsey Estate, Bequeathed to JEFF.
ferSOn Davis.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 5.-The Democrat to-
day contains the following: The accounts
of the value and extent OF the estate of the
late Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey, which she be-
queathed to Mr.. Davis, that have recently
appeared in Northern and Western papers,
are absurdly extravagant. We are assured
on the best possible authority that the
value of the estate will lot exceed $4,000.
Besides the Beauvior estate, valued at
$500, Mrs. Dorsey owned three places in
Tensas Parish, one assessed at $1l $40,
three-ffths of another valued at S., 900, and
another which is lying idle and is subject
TO overflow, at 81 800.
Her debts at the time of her death
amounted to over five thousand dollars.
Last spring size made bona fide sale of the
Beauvoir place to Mr. Davis for fifty-ive
hundred dollars for which he gave her
notes running for one two and three years.
These notes are now in the hands of Mr..
J. W. Payne, one of our oldest and most re-
spectacle merchants who for long time
was the manager of Mrs. Dorsey's business
affairs
Mr.. PAYNE was made by her the custo-
dian OF her will and her private papers.
The much-talked-of lands owned by Mrs.
Dorsey in Arkansas and Texas have not,
for long time past, been deemed worth
paying taxes on. The above facts we have
received from Mr. Payne, than whom no
more honest and veracious gentleman can
be found,

can not be definitely determined until after
the post-mortem examination of the body

The post mortem examination made to-

the abortion story was all bosh, and that
the woman had never been pregnant.
