James C. Buchanan, the 6-year-old son of Dr. Buchanan of 441 Hayes street, was killed last Tuesday by being run over by a truck. He had been playing on the wagon, which had been driven into a vacant lot on the corner of Fell and Octavia streets. The driver had gone away and left the horses attached to the vehicle. Young Buchanan and three other little boys got on the hind part of the truck, and Buchanan fell off just as the horses backed up, the hind wheel passing over his body. The accident happened at 5 o'clock, and the little sufferer died at ten minutes before midnight. The Coroner will hold an inquest.
