The latest chapter in the remarkable serial history of old San Francisco deals with the flight of Ned McGowan and his romantic adven- tures while escaping from the vigi- lantes.

Mrs. Della Lyons, who lives in a tent at camp No. 8§ Harbor View, obtained a warrant from Police Judge Mogan yesterday for the arrest of “John Doc" on a charge of grand larceny. She al- lcges that the man stole her purse from her tent on Wednesday. It contained $61, ceipts.

The passenger department of the Southern Pacific Company yesterday | decided to spend $75,000 more in ad- vertising its roads on this coast. This conclusion was reached at a meeting held last week between James Hors- burg Jr. general passenger agent; Paul Shoup, assistant general passen- ger agent, and Charles S. Fee, passen- ger trafic manager. J. C. Stubbs, traffic manager of the Harriman lines, was in accord with the suggestions made at this point and promptly ordered that the $75,000 be spent as suggested by the local offi- cials. Twenty thousand dollars of this amount is to be used in the issuance of a new edition of the “Road of One Thousand Wonders." This book covers the workings of the line from Los An- geles to Portland, Oregon. The balance, 855,000, is to be spent In advertising the road and the coast in twenty-one Bastern magazines and papers. —_— OPERATED BAR WITHOUT LICENSE FOR TWO MONTHS Federal and City Officials Would Never Have Known of Harry Silver's Of- fense But for a Quarrel.
