TO TRY MURPHY AGAIN.
Judge Says Innocence or Guilt Must
Be Estab ished.

Minot, TN. d., Aug. 1S.-Distric
Judge Pollock of Fargo, before whom
the Maj Murphy case was heard, does
not incline favorably to the view taken
by the Ward county commissioners

costly, and has refused to adopt their
recommendation that the Indictment
against Murphy be Quashed. The judge
says that if Murphy is guilty he ought
to be convicted. and if innocent he is
entitled to a vindication such as only
a verdict of not guilty can give him.
He therefore sci the new trial Of the
case for Nov. 8 next. and has so mott
fed the commissioners and the attor

Reports Regarding San Francisco
GreGtLy Exaggerated.

San Francisco, Aug. 1O.-Chairman Rufus p.
Jennings OF the California promotion commit
tee has been busy this week sending out de-
mails of exaggerated stories about San Fran
cisco which have been printed in newspapers
Of New York and other cities These descrtp-
tions of the ruins and estimates Of the decades
that will be required to restore the city are
ridiculous to one who knows the facts but they
are doing great harm to San Francisco among
thousands in Eastern cities who have no per
sonaI sources OF better information. 1t is nat
ural that strangers who visit San Francisco
for only day or two should get a strong i'm
pression of desolation in the business district
but these visitors do not see the new wholesale
district at the PotrerO. where San Francisco
merchants are doing nearly as much jobbing
trade as before the fire. In the burned districts
more than 6GoO firms are doing business, and
scores of temporary stores are being opened
every day.
Van Ness avenue, from Market street 20
Broadway, is an almost continuous line of stores

costing as much as $4,000

sion declared emphatically this week that the
oldtime dance halls in connection with saloons
would not be permitted. Pratt & Turney, who
conducted the notorious dance hall in the Ten
derloin before the fire, had a license refused
them this week. If the commission maintains
this stand. of the worst evils of the Ten

warning that any saloonkeeper who maintained
side entrances for women would lose his license.
A life preserver was washed ashore this week
