Colorado than ever since his trip to
California. While on the trip his party
stopped at Salt Lake City. Sacramento
San Frrncisco. Santa Catalina, Los
Angeles and San Diego and vhile they
found everything beautiful the differences
in climate Impressed them unfavcrably
Mr.. Sanders says: IF they would ODER
to give me half of California on condition
that I should live there l would not take
it," He brought home beautiful bunch
OF lemons and some orange trees and
palms which will be kept in the bank as
ornaments. Mr.. Sanders went up to
Ouray Friday to see how things were
progressing at the mines.
While in Colorado Springs. on his way
home the Little Lunnon" Gazette had
one OF its reporters look the party up
and he stated that Mr.. Sanders Was
owner OF the celebrated Tom Boy mine
and was enroute to his home at "Monta
Rosa about as accurate a statement as
could be expected from q reporter in
Europe. Frank denies the interview
and says that while he would be glad to
own the Tom Boy" the Bachelor is
plenty good enough for him. and Delta
is pretty good place to live in.

DEPPE DID NOT MURDER.
Jury Found That He Was
Temporarily Insane When
He Shot Zammitt.
In Consequence His Act Was Not a
Criminal One and He Was Found
Not Guilty.

II. n. Deppe, who shot and killed
joseph Fam mitt, fireman, in front of a
truckhouse on Market street, between
Tenth and Eleventh, on the 9th Ct
last September, was acquitted by jury
IN Judge Wallace's court last evening.
The shooting was admitted by the de-
fendant. but in extenuation for his crime
he pleaded insanity, which was caused by
the actions. of his victim. The case wen 10
trial on the 1st of Dece Der and much
evidence was admitted to prove the c, n
dition of the defendants mind at the time
of the shooting. The jury accepted the
defense offered as complete one, and ex.
cused Deppe for his act.
Deppe Is saloon man and conducts n
esta b lstment at Fifteenth and ShotwelI
streets. Up to the time of his arrest he
lived with his family and was always a
contented man until Zammitt crossed his
threshold. One day while Deppe was
away ZAmmitt made criminal assault
upon his wife, and from that moment the
men were enemies. Deppe let the matter
pass for the time being, but later began to
brood on the criminal act on OF the man
who he supposed was his friend. Finally
Zammitt began 10 boast of his crime and
SANDER the wife of Deppe, and it reached
his ears On tue 9th OF Septem ber
Deppe, his mind unhlnged by the act and
boasIing of Zammitt, took a revolver and
| went in search of the man who had
wronged him. He met him in front of
the truckhouse and without word shot
| him dead. Deppe was arrested immedi-
ately following the shooting and taken 10
prison. Several days were occupied in the
trial of the case, and yesterday afternoon
at O'Clock it went To the jury. Two
hours later verd let for the defendant
was found, and Deppe walked from the
courtroom with his family fr4e man.

The RECORDS REMAIN.
e. A. Widemann Fails to Reduce
the Fifty-Yard Swim
ming Time.
Howard Brewer Again Defeats Ed
ward B. Stole in the Quarter
Mile Race.

Two attempts were made at the Lurline
baths last night 10 reduce swimmin q
records. Both proved unsuccessful. H.
A. Widemann essayed to reduce the fifty
yard record of % seconds made some time
ago by Dan Renear Widemann is a
strong swimmer, but he WAS too slow in
getting Of. He failed to equal Renear's
record by one second. He says that he
will try it again, as he feels confident that
he will be able 10 make the distance in
under 29 sec onds.
The race OF quarter of a mile bet ween
Howard Brewer, who is the American
cham pion for that distance, and Edward
b. Stole of the California Swimming 2
Club did not prove as exciting as was ex-
rected. The record held by Brewer Is
6:23 % minutes, and his friends conf
dently expected that he would lower 1t
last night in addition to again beating
Stole The men got off together, but
! Stole soon fell to the rear. Tney had 10
swim across the tank nineteen times, and
| at ch turn Stolie e lost few feet
! He W as not near so quick as Brewer in
/ turning, and after the men had crossed
/ the tank twice it was evident that Stole
| had no chance of winning. Brewer kept
pulling away from him q every turn and
! did not seem 10 be exerting himself. He
! made the quarter mile in 6:24 flaI, with
! Stole about fifteen yards behind him.
Stole says that he still believes that he
can beat Brewer on a course requiring
fewer turns. After the race last night be
! challenged Brewer TO meet him again
Stole formerly held the record, but it
was taken from him by Brewer.
The evenings entertainment closed with
polo game between a team from Fort

LAID POLITICS ASIDE.
The Union League Club Holds
It's Fifteenth Annual
Ladies' Night.
Political Lights Vie With One An,
other to Gain the Favor of
the Fair Sex.

Pleasure reigned supreme at the Union
League Club last evening. Politics for
once were laid aside, and the men whose
words are law in the world political We'd
with one another for the iavoI of their
fair guests.
Once year the league gives a recep ption
to the members and their lady friends,
and the affair Is usually one of the social
events OF the season. Last evenings re-
ception was fully equal in magnificence
and all that goes toward the making of a
great and successful entertainment, to its
many predecessors, and General Robert
A. Friedrich, president of the league, is
deserving of much praise and credit.
The league placed all its rooms at the
d isposal of its guests. A dressing-room
was fitted up for the ladies and placed in
charge of two prim and helpful maids.
The sterner sex was also thoughtfully at
tended TO, and none considered themselves
above the comforting support that a
mir or afford.
Elaborate preparations were made by
the club members for the reception of
their guests. The clubroom was can
vased and inIru~ted 20 the tender merc:es
o: the Misses Worn, who, with the aid o {
autumn leaves, berries ana ferns trans
formed :he large hall into a beautiful and
attractive ballroom.
The large mum ber of handsome women
and lovely buds present added not a little
10 the attractiveness of the scene. For
the most part the ladies wore elegant 1e-
ception gowns. However, here and there
a faIr neck and cleaning pair OF ~houl-
ders were seen, and some ladies' added to
the pleasing variety by wearing large
picture hats.
Between dances musical ana literary
programme was presented. Miss Ruin
Bird Push sang Dudley Bucks Sunset"
and HON er Henley rendered with most
pleasing effect Hawley's "Bedouin Love
Song" julius Kahn recited and Pros
fessor Steinegger gave several piano Sc
lections.
Refreshments were served at small
round tables that had been tasteiully
decorated with pink roses.
The reception committee consisted of
the following gentlemen, who constitute e
the officers and directors of the league ::
