DENVER IS FIFTY YEARS OLD.
Anniversary of Its Founding Was
Celebrated Yesterday.
DENVER, Nov. 17. -- The fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the city of Denver was quietly celebrated today. And artillery salute was fired on the capitol grounds and tonight a banquet will be held at which reminiscences will be exchanged by eight former mayors, seven pioneers of '58 and several hundred other early comers. W. H. H. Larimer of Kansas City, who helped stake out the first claim taken here and was the first treasurer of that city, will be a special guest of honor. He is the only surviving member of the first administration.
