The Dunn County News
Friday, 21 September, 1900

         The general merchandise store of ALLEN & KENYON
       at Gilmanton, Buffalo county, was destroyed by fire
       last Saturday night. The only occupant of the build-
       ing at the time was DELL ALLEN of the firm who was
       asleep on the second floor. As he came down the
       stairs which were in flames they gave way and he
       fell into a mass of fiery debris. MR. ALLEN was
       shockingly burned and will probably die. The fire
       is thought to be incendiary.
       
       Transcriber's Note: William E. (Dell) Allen did not
       survive. He is buried at Gilmanton Cemetery.
