NOTED ATTORNEY,

Identified With Many Important Legal Fights in New Orleans.
D. B. H. Chaffe, one of the most prominent members of the legal profession in Louisisana, and throughout his lifetime closely associated with all civic, social and business activities in New Orleans, died late Wednesday afternoon at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Nelson Hill, Richmond, Mo. where he was on a short visit.
Though Mr. Chaffe had been ailing for a long time, his death came unexpectedly. On his last return home from a trip to Europe last summer his health was declared much improved and it was thought that the rest and recreation he would find during his stay with his daughter at Richmond this winter would result in a still better condition in his health. His relatives did not expect so sudden a relapse.

By his friends Mr. Chaffe was always referred to as "Black" Chaffe.

One of the notable cases with which he was connected was the receivership proceedings of the old New Orleans Railway and Light Company. He was appointed master of chancery to the United States court to conduct the sales of the properties, auctioning the millions of dollars of values from the door of the civil district courthouse. He was counsel for the Louisville & Nashville railroad.
Besides prominence in legal circles in this city, Mr. Chaffe was a member of many clubs and social organizations in New Orleans. He also belonged to all Masonic bodies. He moved in a wide circle of friends where he was alwasy appreciated for his optimism and his obliging disposition.
The body will arrive in New Orleans from Richmond by the Panama Limited Saturday morning at 11:15 o'clock. The cortege will go immediately from Union station to Metairie cemetery where interment is to take place. The pallbearers include: John E. Jackson, Judge R. E. Foster, Judge H. C. Cage, W. Morgan Curley, J. F. Coleman and Dr. C. F. Landfried.
