SCRANTON, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas State Fire Marshal's Office says arson caused a fire at a house where an adult and three children were found dead. Chief investigator Rose Rozmiarek won't say what led to that conclusion, saying it's too early in the investigation. The fire was reported Monday in the northeast Kansas town of Scranton, about 20 miles southwest of Topeka. Osage County Sheriff Laurie Dunn said Tuesday that no arrests had been made. Coroner's officials say autopsy results weren't yet available. The victims' identities had not been released. Neighbors in the town of about 725 people said the well-kept home was occupied by a couple and their three children.
