WOMAN IS HELD ON
CHARGE OF ARSON
CHARGED WITH SETTING FIRE
TO KNOWLES RESIDENCE.
Preliminary Examination Set for
Monday March 25-Compldint
Made BY ChdS. MdrOSe-Held
Under $500 Bdil-ASSdult and
Battery Case Aired Yesterday.
(From SUNDAYS DailY.l

Mrs. Mathilda Peterle of Knowles,
Dodge county, appeared before Justice
Henze yesterday to answer to the
charge of arson. The defendant
pleaded not guilty and her preliminary
examination was set for Monday,
March 25th. she being put under $500
bonds for her appearance. The facts
leading up to the arrest of the woman,
were published in last Thursday S
issue of The Leader. AS previously
stated, the residence of Charles
Marose at Knowles was destroyed by
fire OH the 9th of last January. The
nature of the fire led to the belief that
it was a case ct incendiarism and the
belief was made known to the author
tiles. Investigations were made and
little later representatives of the
Wilson detective agency were put on
the case. They weIe the same parties
who solved the deep mystery which
surrounded the burning of the crusher
house of the Waukesha Stone company
last September and for which Adolph
4. Harock made full confession. The
detectives put in some strenuous work
on the Knowles case with the result
that it was considered that they had
evidence enough to warrant the arrest
of Mrs. Petrie, the complaint having
been made by Charles Marose, whose
home was destroyed. The case is one
that is attracting considerable atten-
tion and the outcome is anxiously
awaited. The warrant for the arr est
of the woman was sworn out last
Wednesday and was served yesterday
by Chief of Police Block.
