Dynamite Found In Fond du Lac Barn

FOND DU LAC - The Milwaukee bomb squad was called to a Fond du Lac barn after seven sticks of dynamite were found. A Fond du Lac County deputy says the dynamite was found Saturday about 6 p.m. in an old grain building. Local streets were blocked off as a precaution until the bomb squad could respond. Sheriff's Lt. William Tadych says it's not clear how long the dynamite was there. He says the bomb squad's plan was to spray the dynamite with diesel fuel and ignite it, a method that would cause the dynamite to burn out instead of exploding.
