Bolts Set Fire,
Kill 2 Horses

    LEESBURG, Va., Sept. 10 (Spl.)--Lightning killed two thoroughbred horses, struck a Round Hill store and started a fire that destroyed an old barn and its contents in Loudoun County last night.
    Two thoroughbreds belonging to Dr. John Wynkoop of Leesburg were killed when two trees under which they took shelter were struck.
    E. G. Able suffered a loss estimated at $15,000, including two tractors, other farm machinery and two tons of hay, when a barn on his farm near Hillsboro went up in flames. Part of the building was constructed of logs nearly 200 year ago, he said.
