DEATH OF A NoToRIoUs CHARACTER.-
The death of Captain John Phillips, who
was we'll known in Rock Island many yesrs
ago, is announced as having taken place q,
Lettsville on Thursday, the 25th mat. The
Journal says his name was notorious in the
10 the early days of MuscA,ins, and adds:
Captain Phillips came TO MuscAtine then
Bloomington from Burlington In 1913, with
al old steam terry boat, and having q chart
er for the ferry he run il for q number Of
years N . manner Unsatisfactory to the citi-
zsns, causing g great deal of trouble aud
strife. Philips wac charged with& nearly
every crime In the catalogue, but he was
shrewd and wary and always succeeded in
escaping oonviction in the Numerous suiis
brosg hi against him. On the morning Of
May 23d, lS49, German named "Old
Nick" was found dead near the ferry house
which still stands on the opposite side o.
the river, and which had been the residencs
of Phillips. His death was attribated By
Phillips 10 . mob from this city, who, ht
said, attacked his house during the night
and killed old Nick" In mistake for hIm
self; but, on tbs other hand, the murder
was charged on Phillips in order TO get the
unfortunate man out Of the way Is witnes,
against him. The mystery has never beer
cleared up. The same cloud of uncertainty
hangs over other unlawful acts attributed
TO Philips and his associates, such as burn
ing of houses, bridges, &c, in order &c
avenge himself on those who opposed his
claim TO the ferry franchise. About 1850
Phillips removed to Rock Island, and ouI
citizens saw and heard but little of him tOI
ten years. he then returned to thi. city
and pursued q CON p~rstively quiet life, de-
voting his lime mainly to ob aiming pen
sions, and picking up business Ss an attor'
ney. On the 3lst oF October, 1865. be
came again prominently before the public
as q party in an ARRAY with Jap. Hampton,
on the ferry boat. in which he shot Hsmp-
ton, who narrowly escaped death. For this
Phillips stood Trial, but was acquitted. He
afterwards removed to Lettsville. His age
was about sixty years.
Phillips resided here several years, did
nothing in the way of business, and made
an effort to pass for q man of means. His
residence was on Illinois strAet, between
Broad way and Adams. opposite the Round
House. His principal amusement was 'hs'
of lawsuits and litigation. he was never
out of squAbbls, and bore 9 very bad name.
