SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A San Francisco Fireman Seriously
Wounded by a School Teacher.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.-H. N.
Deppe, a school teacher at Fifteenth
and ShotwelI streets, this evening shot
and seriously wounded Joe Zammitt,
member of Truck No. 3.
The shooting took place in front of
the fire house at 1921 Market street,
where Zammitt is stationed. The bull
let entered the fireman's side, passing
through the left upper portion of the
abdomen and perforated the intestines.
Deppe was arrested and locked up in
the city prison on a charge of assault
to murder.
According to the story of the wound
ed man, he was standing in front of
the truck house with Maurice Higgins,
also a. member of the company, when
Deppe accosted them. Without word
of warming Deppe drew a revolver, and
placing the muzzle against his victim 5
side, fired. Policeman Livingston was
passing the house at the time, and he
seized Deppe just as the latter was
about to fire a second shot.
Deppe, when asked why he had shot
the fireman, declared that he had ru
ined his family.
Zammitt denied the story told by his
assailant. He says he is acquainted
with Mrs. Deppe, but never visited her
during the absence of her husband.

that hour, owing to the absence of Judge
Temple, the hearing was deferred by
order of Chief Justice Beatty until 2

siderable discussion as to certain dis
puted questions of fact in relation to
the title of the contending Boards of

ally decided that testimony be taken,
and referred the whole mater to Com
missioner Niles Searls for that purpose.
