Death of C.S. Chatfield.
The friends of Mr. C.S. Chatfield were deeply saddened to learn of his death, which occurred at Princeton, Calif., on Tuesday of this week. On the Monday of last week a telegram was received that he was dangerously ill and his wife and son, Mr. Clark Chatfield, started immediately to go to him. From the brief message received it would appear that he was unconscious when they reached there and died without recognizing them. Mr. Chatfield's illness was doubtless the result of a fall from his horse, which happened last fall. He has been in rather feeble health ever since then, until his case finally became alarming, resulting in his death.
He died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Jas. Mallon. The funeral was held on Wednesday and it is understood that Mrs. Chatfield and Clark would start for Basalt immediately afterward, probably arriving here the first of the week. Levi and Marjory, who remained here, have the sympathy of many friends in their deep sorrow.
