Two 16-year-old boys who authorities said burned a cross at the home of a black minister have turned themselves in.
A relative of the unidentified boys brought them to the police station Saturday afternoon, hours before a candlelight vigil and march organized by the community about 40 miles north of Seattle, City Administrator Kristin Banfield said.

Cross burning -- A news brief in Monday's Section A about two teenagers admitting to a cross burning at the home of a black minister did not identify the community where the incident occurred. It was Arlington, Wash.
Jason Martin, the pastor of a Pentecostal congregation in nearby Marysville, woke up Wednesday to find firefighters dousing a cross on his front lawn.
