Another Killing At Lebanon
Frank Buchanan Slays His Brother Robert on the Public Square
Lebanon, Tenn., April 28. - A very deplorable tragedy occurred here yesterday evening on the Public Square in front of Sellars & Hearn's livery stable, when Frank Buchanan, aged 29, a prominent horseman and citizen of the town, shot and almost instantly killed his brother Robert, aged 24. The ball entered the center of his chest and death resulted from internal bleeding. The deceased only breathed a few times after he fell, and did not utter a word. The father of the young men and a little Negro boy are said to have been the only witnesses. Frank Buchanan is said to have fired in defense of his father. The facts obtainable in regard to the killing and causes leading up to it are very few. The body was quickly removed to the undertaking establishment and prepared for burial and then removed to the home of his father on College Street, from which place the body will conveyed to Cedar Grove Cemetery for interment. The funeral services will occur this afternoon at 2:30 at the home and a short prayer service at the grave.
