( Special ) The de- fcnso In the Dodge damage case spent yes terday afternoon and today Introducing ev idence In support of their theory as to how the fire originated. Joseph Itenncr , the boy who. It Is alleged , threw away a cigar stub which set the blaze , was on the stand this morning. Yesterday afternoon Ed Hubanka , John Bchlcboum and W. King testified about the location of the fire when It started. They placed It southeast of the hay shed and at the south line of the fence L. Shlnkel swore that he saw a lot of hay , straw , manure and rubbish where the fire starled , the morning of the day the fire occurred. Albert Elsler testified that he worked In Nueveman s livery barn ; that on the after noon of the fire he saw a smalt boy go down In the direction of where the fire started smoking a cigar He afterwards saw the boy standing smoking near a pile of rubbish near the shed Charles Dalton , who said he had been traveling on foot looking fet work husking corn , was the next witness Though coming from West Point , which IE , northeast of Dodge , he struck the town from the northwest , just before the flro started He came around the town Instead of golnp through It , and while passing the sheds north of the depot , saw a small boy standing neat the shed with smoke coming out of the lefl side of his mouth. He could not tell whether the boy was smoking a pipe 01 clear. Joseph Renncr was on the stand nearly all the morning session. He Is 13 yean of ago and of the common type of Germar farmer boy. He came to Dodge with hli father the morning of the fire. They ate lunch at a saloon , and after having a glass of beer , ho went out of the saloon , hunted up a cigar slub about an Inch and a hall long near the buck door , lighted It with t match , which ho picked up on the saloon Door , and went down toward the rallroac to see the engine. He stood there smoking his cigar , the first one he ever smoked , anc Ilia at the engine till he looking , saw a mar coming , when he threw the cigar In semi Btraw or millet near the fence. When thi man had passed by he stooped down to plcl It up , but couldn't , for the pile was al ablaze. Ho then ran away from the fire. Ills cross-examination showed that thi first account he gave of the origin of thi fire was entirely different from that glvci on the witness stand The reason why hi told all the people he talked with that thi engine set the fire was so that they woul < not find out that he set it. His father wai the first person to whom he told the trutl about how the fire started Neuveman bai been out to his father's farm In Curalni county twice nnd Gray once , to talk will him about the origin of flic fire previous ti the commencement of the suits , and he hai talked with them about the fire Court adjourned at noon till 10 o'clocl Monday morning , at which time the ens ate mill be resumed.

LINCOLN' , June 27 ( Special ) John Cur- rle of this city was a ealler at the governor s olllce this afternoon The object of his visit was to assure the governor that all rumor : , recently published In various newspapers to the effect that he cannot complete th" statue of Abraham Lincoln ( for which he lias made a model , exhibiting Lincoln In a suit of clothes which fit him like a fashion plate ) are false. He says the time has gone by to negotiate with any other sculptor , as he has the model , and has put In nearly six months' time in "working up the pf..n. " The block of marble tendered Nebraska by the state of Tennessee Is now on its way and it is quite likely that It will be met at the depot by Currle and his chisel. At any rate , If he Is to be uoeuchured out of the Job , he wants to know it immediately , as he has other schemes on loot of equal Importance , and in the manufacture of stat uary time1 is money. \ \ hilc engaged upon the clay model the attention of Currle was at numerous tlnieb called to the fact that the clothing of Abraham Lincoln always wrinkled to a greate-r extent than did thut of any one else contemporary with the mai- tyred president Cuirie freely admitted this , but excused the smooth appearance ol the frock coat as modeled by himself , by stating patriotically that It was the duty of a true American artist to remedy all sutli defects and that he proposed to carve this statue In a manner that no true American should find cause to blush for 111-fittinE clothing on the statue of the president.
