SUSAN BRYANT'S ESTATE,
T CONSISTS PRINCIPALLY OF
CLAIMS AGAINST HER UN-
GLE, IRA P. RANKIN.
Mr.. RANKIN'S Two LIFE POLICIES
TO COVER HIS INDEBTEDNESS
TO RELATIVES.

Miss Susan F. Bryant's estate consisted
principally of claims against Ira P. Rankin,
Individually and as executor of the will of
Caroline A. B. Rankin. and the will of
Edwin Bryant. These claims are secured
by two insurance policies on the life of Mr..
Rankin. Miss Bryant died on November
probate, the property is beoueathed to
relatives. The will is as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO. April 10, 1889.
/ give ana bequeath all my clothes, orna-
ments and jewelry to my sister. Mrs. Harriet P.
Ellsworth, for her to distribute rs she sees fit.
give to my uncle, Ira z. Rankin, $500, as a
token of my respect and love for him.
give to Susie Ellsworth $500 for her name
All the rest of my money or estate l wish to
be equally divided among my nephews and
nieces, namely:
oliver B. Ellsworth, Edward A. Ellsworth,
Henry G. Ellsworth, James Ellsworth, Susie
Bryant, Caroline Amelia Bryant, Oliver ].
Bryant.
This is my last will and testament
Ny property consists of FIVE hundred dollars
left me by Aunt Carrie, an interest in fathers
estate and twelve hundred dollars in Oliver
Bryants hands in Cincinnati, o.
San Francisco, April 10, 1880.
Edwsrd A. Ellsworth, a nephew of Miss
Bryant, has applied also for letters of ad-
m1nlStration on the estate or Ollver Brv-
ant, who died at Cincinnati in 1881. The
two estates are made identical by the con-
troll which Mr.. Rankin held.
Mr.. Rankin was in 1870 appointed ex-
ecutor of the Edwin Bryant estate. holding
the position until he died on October 1.
Oliver Bryant obtained sixth interest in
the Edwin Bryant estate.
At the time of Mr.. Rankin's death Mr..
Rankin owed $4,000 to the estate of Ed
win Bryant, as shown by the nephew's
petition for letters of administration.
This $4,000 indebtedness, it is further
related, was secured by two insurance poll
cies on Mr.. Rankin's life, the policies hav-
ing been taken out with the intention and
understanding that the insurance money
should apply to the liquidation of the
debt and of other Indebtedness to the
Bryant heirs.
Susan F. Bryant was daughter of Oliver
Bryant. Her relatives who are legatees
under her will are Hattie B. Ellsworth of
Niles, sister; Oliver D. Bryant of Cincin-
natl and Edwin Bryant of Terre Haute,
Ind, brothers.

SUICIDE OF MRS. GREEN.
DEPENDENCY OVER HER HUS-
BANDS DEATH THE CAUSE
OF THE DEED.
LETTERS OF EXPLANATION LEFT TO
THE CORONER AND TO HER
COUSINS.

Mrs. Nellie Green, a widow aged "a
years, committed suicide by poison at her
residence ABS Ringold street, yesterday
morning.
The deceased had been respondent for a.
long time past on account of her husband
death and her inability to obtain perma-
nent employment and had frequently
spoken of suicide, though her talk on that
subject had not been taken seriously.
The body was taken 10 the Morgue. and
an autopsy will be necessary to determine
the nature of the drug she used to end her
life.
In the two letters left by the deceased
she speaks of using laudanum, but box
of trough on rats" was found in the room.
and it was believed that she used that
poison to accomplish her end.
Mrs. Green left two letters in the room
where she died, one addressed to the Cor
oner, the other to her cousins. John and
Nellie Green. The letter to the Coroner
was as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16, 1895.
To the Coroner-DEAR SIR: write this to save
you trouble we'll as the City expense. 1 take
my life with laudanum poison the cause being
craZed with grief at my darling husbands
death, sickness and without friends or means
of support. If had one good friend to look to
me would never have done such thing

When full grown and fit for food their
weight would be ton or two. AS rule
dozen of these young fish when dried
would not weigh an ounce. When mature
every one of the fish. with the exception
OF the tomcods, would weigh over pound.
An inspection of the storehouses gave
some idea of the fragrant manner in which
the law relative to taking and killing
young fish has been violated. In one
storehouse several tons of small dried fish
were piled ready for shipment to China.
Further on another building of the same
character was found containing at least
two tons of small dried fish and many
tons of dried shrimps.
Upon the northern slope of the second
point the shrimp nets were found drying.
These nets are as destructive to young fish
