FREMONT , June 27. ( 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. The trial will probabl ;
atet take three days more.

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.

It first appeared on his lip and resem
bled a fever blister , but spread rapidly
and soon began to destroy the flesh.
His father and uncle had died from
Cancer , and he sought the best medical
aid in different cities , but it seemed im
possible to check the disease. Several
operations were performed but the can
cer always returned. This continued
for years until the partition in his nose
and his entire up
per lip were eaten
away. All treat
ment having proved
futile , he looked
upon death 03 the
only relief.
"Some one re
commended S.S.S. "
he says , "and
a few bottles afford

wonderful one.1'
