Four youths accused in King Gay Barn fire celebration
Norwood youths aged about 20 planned a Fourth of July blaze at the old King Gay barn, using kerosene soaked shingles. Fisher Baker and accomplices admitted the arson as a誤 celebration, saying no harm was intended though property valued at 450 dollars burned and 500 dollars insured. Authorities say the incident stemmed from patriotic misjudgment rather than malice, with the marshal arranging investigation and no immediate prosecutions.
