CHARGE OF ARSON.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Invercargill, Friday. Late on Tuesday night a small house in Teviot-street, owned by a young man named Rudolph Rudaka, occupied by Mrs. Tozzie and three children was noticed to be on fire. Some passers-by extinguished the flames after a little damage was done, and on the police examining the place they found a quantity of cotton waste saturated with kerosene and partly burned, under the wall-plate. To-night the owner, Radaka, was arrested, charged with wilfully setting fire to the house with intent to defraud the Standard Insurance Company. He had an insurance of £40 on the building.
