GROUND TO PIECES. THAT EMPIRE DISTURBANCE. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. DEATH OF MAUDE WILEY. The death of Miss Wiley, daughter of Mrs.

W. O. Wiley, was briefly announced in the TIMES yesterday. Death occurred at 2: 5 o'clock and was the result of a sickness of three weeks' duration. She had typhoid fever.

After an illness of a week she was able to be up. and even when sick enough to be in bed she remained on her feet for a week until she was compelled to take to her bed again. Various physicians were called in, but their efforts were unavailing. Her age was 15 years, 7 months and 27 days. She was a most lovable child, and her death is received with profound regret by all her acquaintances in Galena.

The funeral takes place at the home, corner of Fifth street and Galena avenue, this evening at 4 o'clock, Rev. W. H. South officiating. Dave Spencer, of Webb City, is Run Over by a Memphis Egie.

From Joplin News. Dave Spencer was run over by an engine and literally ground to pieces in the Memphis yards at Webb City early yesterday morning. No one knows how the accident occurred, but the supposed facts as related by a Webb City man are as follows: It seems that Spencer had been out all of Saturday night and started for home between 5 and 6 o'clock. His home is about 400 yards north of the round house, and when he reached the Memphis depot the morning passenger train had arrived and the engine had run onto a siding to get to the round house. It is thought that Spencer attempted to board the engine to ride as far as the round house on his way home, but he made a mis-step and fell beneath the wheels, his body being badly mangled, pieces of scalp and part of the brains being scattered for some distance along the track.

Coroner Galbreath held an inquest yesterday but no blame could be attached to anyone as no person could be found who witnessed the accident. Spencer was married and leaves several children. He was a miner and a reckless man with a sort of dare-devil disposition. COLUMBUS NOTES. David Saker, age 75 years, died at his home in this city last week.
