penetrated by a pistor bullet. Lieu
tenant Buchanan's home was at Grove

Monday, occupied his room last night,
went out this morning and returned
before noon. A new pistol loaded with
one cartridge discharged was found in
the room. The theory Of suicide is ad-
vanced as the only one which seems to
fit the facts. AS SO far learned, no one
was in the room with the body. How
ever. there was a letter to his mother,
Mrs. Alice C. Buchanan, apparently
lust written and indicating happy
frame of mind.
