Indiana Farmer Drives Into Barn, Horses Hoofs Hit Flint-Blaze.
Lawrenceburg, Ind., Nov.3.-When George W. Hayes, a farmer, three miles north of here, drove a team to his barn, the steel shoes of the horses came in contact with several Indian arrow heads that were on the floor.
The striking of the steel and flint caused sparks of fire to fly into the dry trash on the floor and the large structure was soon in flames and was destroyed with 2,000 pounds of tobacco, 100 tons of hay, 500 bushels of old corn, two cows and twenty hogs. The loss is estimated at $5,000.
