Southern Trinity eliminated on Satur-
day in the shooting of J. W. Vinton and
the lynching OF Jack Littlefield, both OF
Round Valley.
Vinton is still alive, although his ply
sicians have but slight hope of his re-
covery. AS a courier Lett Round Valley

to pine tree near the boundary line OF
the county.
Early on Saturday morning last Vinton

A short time thereafter the wounded
man was discovered lying on the ground
by party OF travellers. He was taken
to his cabin. and everything possible was
done to alleviate his suffering.
When Ninton recovered sufficiently TO

About a quarter OF q mile from the bound

sacks.
AS soon as Littlefield discovered the
moo he sprang from the horse be rode
and made desperate attempt To escape.

IRA P. RANKIN.
A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN PASSES
AWAY,
Pioneer and Business Man in San
Francisco for a Number
of Years.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Ira p. Ran
kin, pioneer and business man, died at
1920 Washington street this morning at
6:30 o'clock.
The announcement was a great shock
to his friends, for though he had been Ill for
some days, and was considered to be IN a
critical condition. it was thought that his
strong constitution would withstand the
attack, and that in spite of his advanced
age he would recover.
Last week pneumonia confined the
aged man to bis bed, but Oh Saturday he
hao recuperated sufficiently to be able to
get UP, but in the evening he complained
OF feeling very unwell and his physician,
DR.. Dorr, was sent for. MIR. Rankin con-
tiaued to grow worse, but yesterday
there was still strong hope for his life.
Last night his condition became steadily
worse, and 1T became apparent that the
end was at hand. He sank as the morn
ing hours passed and, as stated, expired
at $50 O'Clock.
For many years Mr. Rankin has been
prominent man in San Francisco. He
has been connected with many OF the in-
stitutions of the city, and for nearly forty
years has been st the head of the Pacific
Iron Works. lie was member of the
Chamber of Commerce and in 1889 be-
came its President. He was also Presi-
dent and life member of the Mercantile
Library; one of the Lick trustees, and
also a trustee OF the College of California,
which was succeeded by the State Uni
versity.
He was Chairman of the State Board of
Commissioners TO select a site for the
Deaf Dumb and Blind Asylum, and be-
came Chairman of the building Commit
tee. He filled these positions satistactor-
iiy, even to the ad dministration, which
was opposed to him in politics. He was
President Of the Engineers and Foundry
Association of San francisco.
Mr.. Rankin was always a humane and
charitable man, and for many years was
q memb ber OF the Societies for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty to Children and AMI
mails.
The deceased was a native of Massa-
chusetts, having been born at Hampshire
in that State IN lSI7. He left that place
in 1885 and went to Boston, where he en-
gagged IN the dry goods business. In May,
1852, he decided to cast his lot in the far
West and came out TO the coast by way of
Panama. Upon his arrival here he en-
gagged in the shipping and commission
business under the firm name of Rankin
& Co. Their place OF business was on
Front street, and The venture proved sue
cessful. He thought. though, that the
foundry business offered better oppor-
unities, and in 1855 he purchased an in
terest in the Pacific Foundry, of which
institution he was President up to the
time Of his death.
AIR. Rankin was 9 religious man, and
for over thirty years he WAS mam Der of
the First congregational Church and a
Trustee OF the California Bible Society.

details OF the expedition, admitted that lt

tenant Peary had not managed TO forge
much further north than on his previous
expedition. lie would not give any rea-
son for the failure other than lack of food
When driven back on the first attempt TO
reach the North Pole, Peary decided to
press forward again in 1894. He had
buried food in the ice, but could not
locate the cache. He was obliged TO Kill
his dogs one by one and feed them to
others. Dyche and his party lived on
walrus meat when they could get it.
The Professor states emphatically that
the party would never have reached
America had it not been that when just
on the verge OF starvation Peary and
Henderson killed some musk oxen.
Professor Dyche brought back about
1900 specimens OF Arctic flora and fauna.

mer and Ratchet OH desk in the count
ing-room. Upon closer investigation it
was found that a drawer in the counting
