Special to the Kansas City Times.
Pittsburg, Kan., Jan. 19. --John W. Buchanan, son of J.C. Buchanan, editor of the Pittsburg Kansan, died this morning at 8 o'clock. His is the second bereavement to the Buchanan family, his mother dying yesterday of pneumonia. The funeral of Mrs. Buchanan, which was to have taken place today, was therefore postponed until 2 o'clock Saturday, when the double funeral will take place.
John W. Buchanan had been a helpless invalid for four years, suffering from a peculiar form of rheumatism, which rendered the use of his limbs and muscles impossible, the power of speech and the movement of his eyes alone being left him.
Mr. Buchanan was well known several years ago through Texas as a newspaper writer of considerable ability, being at one time president of the Fort Worth Mail Publishing company, and during his residence in Texas was connected with three very influential papers. He was 34 years old. Mrs. Buchanan, who died yesterday, was 54 years old.
