Two men are charged with arson for a fire at a northwest Missouri newspaper building.

The DeKalb County Prosecuting Attorney's Office on Thursday charged 19-year-old Kevin Brumley of Maysville, and 18-year-old Wesley Leverenz, from California.

The St. Joseph News-Press reports there were no injuries at the fire at the DeKalb County Record-Herald on Thursday.

Publisher Terry Pearl says he would rebuild. Arrangements were being made to publish this week's edition in King City.

Brumley and Leverenz are being held at the Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail in Pattonsburg on $500,000 cash bonds.
