SAD ACCIDENT At MEMPHIS NO.
Three Men Crushed Under falling
Walls and Burned.

Keokuk. To-, March IA quarter
of block of buildings were destroyed
by fire at Memphis, Mo-, this afternoon
and several lives lost by falling walls,
while other persons were seriously in
jured. The reports received indicate
that the walls OF two-story brick build
ing near the northwest corner of the
public square gave way. The brick
and mortar and timbers crushing the
lower floors and falling into the base.
ment buried the three men therein.
Fire was communicated to the debris
by the stoves in the basement and first
floor, and soon spread to the Wabash

The entire building with the greater
part of the contents were destroyed.
The lower floors was occupied by
stores and the Post Office, the lower
floor Of the building Of which the walls
crumbled was occupied by Abe Wise,
grocer; Loami Motifs restaurant, and
there was a saloon in the basement.
In the latter were Philip Payne, Loami

buried IN the ruins. These men were
either crushed by the falling walls or
burned to death by the flames that
burst forth Immediately thereafter. Lee
Davis, a merchant, Hallett Sanford,
Percy Tucker and Mrs. McDole were
seriously hurt.

would permit, the citizens began the
work of searching for the bodies in the
basement. At 10 o'clock at night the
body of Payne was found and the good
work continued but no reports have
been received since of further discov
cries. The people Of the town are
