Lafayette Courier.
The city of Denver and the State of Colorado
have liking for Indiana. The foremost citizen
of the State, Ex-Governor John Evans, once
lived in Attica, where he was q practicing ply
stefan. DR.. Evans moved to Chicago and laid
out the town of Evanston, and projected the
great Northwestern University President
Lincoln made him Governor of Colorado at the
commencement Of his first term. In Colorado,
Governor Evans is conceded to be- the first
citizen of the State. He breught the Union
Pacific railway drown from Cheyenne and gave
Denver a boom 10 be the chief city between
Chicago and San Francisco. He built the Den
yer ~ South Park railway, and is now at work
on the Denver & New Orleans railway
With such man from Indiana it is no wonder
that Colorado takes liking to Indiana men
Rev. n. A. Chamberlain, formerly Of this city
is very popular there and has been appointed
presiding elder of the Colorado Southern dis
trict, which includes the entire city Of Denver
A year ago our Mr. Buehtel was called there
to the passionate Of the Lawrence street Church
As stated at the time in the Courier thecall was
not accepted. Rev DIR. De La Matyr was then
called to that church from Indiana. Myron w.
Reed has since been taken from Indianapolis to
Denver. And now the Evans Memorial Church
gives Mr.. Buehtel a call with tender Of three
thousand dollars salary and furnished house,
But Mr.. Buchtel never moves for higher offer
of salary, and so, will remain in Lafayette,
where he is perfectly eonteRted and happy in
his pastoral work
It is probable That Che Evans Memorial
Church viii take Rev. D. Il Cunick Of New
Albany, Ind, as supply fer one year, and then
take Mr. Buchtel in the fail of 1885, when his
time expires here. Verify Colorado has a liking
for Indiana.
