Death of C.E. CHETLAIN.--The sad news was received here of the death of Mr. C.E.
Chetlain, which occurred at Denver, Col., on the 14th inst. This news, though
not unexpected, nevertheless saddens many hearts here, where he was so well
known and universally respected, and beloved. Mr. C. was born in Galena, Ill.,
where he lived until early manhood, but of late years had been a resident of
Arkansas and Memphis, Tenn., where he was extensively engaged in the mercantile
business. A little less that a year ago he became a resident of LaCygne, and was
its pioneer merchant, having built the first store ever constructed and occupied
in the village. But consumption had marked him for its victim, and this spring
he relinquished his business and went to the mountains in the vain hope of
recovering his shattered health. He had been here but a short time, when he
became aware that all eartly hopes were delusive and on the 14th calmly and
peacefully sank into his eternal sleep. Mrs. C. was with him to cheer and 
sustain him in his last moments. His remains were sent to Galena, Ill., for 
interment. His aged was about thirty-five. He was an upright and honest man, 
pleasant and courteous in his dealings with his fellow men, and his death leaves
a void that will long be felt.
