Incendiary Fire Near Zearing Destroys Barn And Stock
Sheriff Warrick investigated a Thursday morning fire at the Dick Shaw farm south of Zearing. The large 1908 barn valued at 2000 and its contents were destroyed, five of eight work horses disappeared, and other livestock and hay were lost. Horses were later found in a pasture south of Marshalltown, with leads pointing to possible theft but no solid suspect. The incident caused local excitement and potential long prison terms if criminals are found.
