SANFORD, Maine - Two boys charged in setting the spectacular fire that burned a historic Sanford mill pleaded guilty on Thursday to misdemeanor criminal mischief and will be placed on a year's probation.

It took more than 100 firefighters from Maine and New Hampshire to put out the fire at the mammoth, five-story Stenton Trust Mill building in June.

A third suspect in the fire is yet to have his case resolved.
