OBITUARY.

This afternoon, Mr.. H. G. Blackburn OF
this city received dispatch from Pawnee
City, Neb., containing the sad information
that his son Capt. W. c. Blackburn died at
that place at o'clock this morning. The
dispatch was signed by E: p. Reynolds,
and contained no further information con-
corning the cause of death or duration of
the fatal illness.
The remains arc to be sent to this city,
and will probably arrive next Friday. His
death must have been very sudden and I'M
expected. as his wife in this city was first
appraised of his illness by the information
that he was dead.
Capt. Blackburn has been a citizen of
Rock Island for a number Of wears, and
only recently visited Pawnee City where
his sudden death occurred this morning
He has a large circle of friends, relatives
and acquaintance here, who will learn
with regret of his demise.
He leaves a wife and one child

POLICE COURTS

Justice Cropper had class of drunkards
this morning before him. The class was
small and select, but both members receiv-
ed a reward for meritorious conduct in q
small fine.
c. III. Smith was the first scholar exam
ined. His replies gave evidence that he
knew all about levee whisky and its effects
upon the human frame. 4 tender police
man found him in comatose condition,
and carefully assisted him to rest his
weary head in the station house
The court thought that such care and at
tention was worth SO and costs, and &C
cordingly, that fine was assessed against
him
John Whitbricker attempted to tell the
court that he was o seeker after knowledge
and for that parpose visited Harper's The
alter last evening to listen to the gradual
ing exercises. The crowd prevented him
from obtaining seat, and in despair he
left and became inebriated. His thirst for
knowledge was apparent even when drunk
for he went to sleep in close proximity to
the theater where the exercises were held.
The court was of the opinion that John
should pay for his lodging on the city
sidewalk. He was therefore asked to pay
the city 80 and costs.
