C. !?^|}^ The bullet entere*! tihe right side and caused congestion of the lungs, which resulted in death at 11 o'clock on Tuesday. The shot was from a 22 caMibre weapon. From the first but slight hopes were entertained for his recovery. Immediately after being shot lie received n odical aid at Johnston, and was later brought to Augusta, where he was placed in the j Wright sanitarium and given the best .medical aid possible, but to no avail. All itihrough the night and morning his condition was critical and at last ? he succumbed.

Accompanying the remains were several-members of the family. Tlm*e are six children surviving Judge Buchanan. When he was shot Judge Buchanan was sitting on a seat with Judge Lyjon, and as the train reached a point some 200 or 1500 yards beyond Ward's station, 35 miles fro.m Augusta, he exclaimed that a brick had silruck him, arose from his seat and ?. few minutes later fainted from the -shock of his wound. The train was stopped at Johnston, where l)r. Walker was summoned, and the physician accompanied tiho patient to Augusta. The bullet grazed the window sill, and no person on the trein beard the shot. The indications are that the bullet was fired from a rifle. Judge Buchanan was take immediately 'o Dr. Wright's sanitarium when 'he train arrived. Ab nil ii.oO p. m. an operation was perofrmed. It is snid that some children were playing wiilh rifle?, at Wards aboo! the time th train was passing that station.
