Mr and Mrs Thomas Flynn escaped death when their large barn on the Dillon area ranch burned last Saturday night. The two blaze fronts broke out at the doors trapping valuable household goods and farming machinery. The fire destroyed a two story 100 by 100 foot structure with no stock harmed in the incident. The Flinns had moved into a new house and were sleeping there, narrowly missing cremation as the barn burned. The loss runs to several thousand dollars and the cause is believed to be arson with unknown parties.
