Fire destroys Denton farm house and nearby mills
A farm dwelling owned by Geo T Redden and tenanted by Whiteley Dill burned yesterday after a long afternoon blaze. The Denton tire company arrived too late to save the home but kept flames from spreading to outbuildings. Nearby H B Messenger can factory and cannery also burned earlier in the week, with a large flour mill nearby under danger. Loss estimated $8,000 to $10,000 with insurance.
