LINCOLN" , Jan. 27 ( Special ) Testlmonj
Tvns corrected In Ilio Stevens Insurance case
In federal court this morning , the only wit
ness calleil being Hugli McArthtir. ( or the
defence. Ho testified that he had el con
versation with one Jacob lllght , who was
In Crcto In 1S93. IllBht hail told lilm of
meeting Stevens on a boat between Detroit
nnil Windsor a short tlinu after Stevens' dlu-
nppcaranco from Crete , and that Stcvtns
tcuested | lllght not to tell onjone of the
meeting. Tliu attorneys for the plaintiff
asked to have McArthnr's testimony stricken
otlt , but It was allowed to stand.
P. I. Toss evened the argument for the.
vlaliitirr. He said thai the most Important
fjttestlon Ilio Jury would have to dml with
was whether the condition of Gcorgo II
Stevens , financially , socially and ollicrwl.se
was such tut to wuruint the allegation ol
the defense that the man ran avuiy to escape
nrrc-st. Ho rolcircil to the statommt tnadu
by Attorney Dew cose at the opening of the
lose. In which ho raid ho would prove to
tliu jury that George IJ Stcvcn.1 nt the time
of his departure from Oreto was badly In-
\olvcd financially and that lie was threatened
with < in Ituiortant nillt by Uio Voting estate.
Ho said the defense had failed to substan
tiate any of the statements The testlmci >
cf Hank examiner Wells was dwelt upon al
consldorablo extent Mr. Wells testified thai
In lila opinion the bank was in ex cello in
condition , t ! < U ho had money on duiosil
there himself nnd tlmt several rc'iUiven ol
his were dtpoiltora 'Ilio hunk had paid 'JO '
cdiits on the dollar of Its deposits < ind tint
during the worst periods of t'.io < > rovull'iig '
liard times He said tlat the Insinuation tint
Stovona left bofiiUHc oP the threatened law-
null by Young was unreasonable. After
.Stevens' disappearance Young had taken no
Mips to recover any money from the Slovens
estate.
Mr. KOM stld that Ste\eii8 wa alwa > s ol
( ho most affectionate character , that he lo\rd
his chlldiin ami his homo Why. then ,
should ho have any deslro to lea\e Crete
nc\cr to ictiirn7 Die ] ) ieparallons made
by Sto\ons for the trip wete not such as
to Indicate an intoiitlin to niaKo auj but
u temporary \lslt. He did not take till the
clothing his wife had laid out for him , but
just tmnugli for a few daj < i Another thing
which contradicts the theory that the dis
appearance was premeditated IB the facl
that Stevens enl } took $ . * 0 with him rn
the trip , when ho could Imc easily taken
moro without creating suspicion. His bnnk
aiho had n largo amount of money on deposit -
posit In the Union National bank of Chi-
cagei , uiu Kto\ens iiiu not take advantage
of the opportunity to draw any of It He
BUggentcd tlmt Stevens had miffercd a re
currcnco of the bimstroke received several
years before as a cause for his disappear
ance. At the time of the sunutroKc ho had
become temporarily demented nnd supposing
that his little son wa drowning hat
Jumped Into the Illuo tlver.
Gcorgo II. Hastings fol'owed P. I revs
In the argument fet the plaintiff The ar
guments for the defense were made bv At
torneys Dowccso ami lltaliop The } sought
to show that the testlnuiij ot the witness
Height , who lad said that ho met Stevens
I'l Chicago , had not been damaged by the
other side when they brought witnesses to
prove that Height had &ald ho met Stovenn
on the boat at Detroit lloth stories aroe !
that ho had met and tnlUe-d with Stevens
The argument was Mulshed late In the aftcr-
noca and the case was given to the jury.

MODEST rinn PIGIITIRS.
I once asked Plreman Martin M Colcman.
after ono of those exhibitions of coolness and
courage tlmt thrust him constant ! } upon the
potlco of the newspaper man , what ho
thought of when ho stood upon the ladder ,
with this thing before him to do that might
mean lifo or death the next moment. He
Icokcd at mo In some perplexity.
"Think' " ho said slowlj "Whj , I don't
think There ain't any time to If I'd
stopped to think , them live people would 'a'
been burnt No ; I don't think of danger
1C It is anything , 15 U that up there I am
boss. The rest a'o not In It. Onl } I wish , "
he added , rubbing his arm rtiefull ) at the
recollection , "that she hadn't fainted It s >
hard when the } faint. The're just so much
deud weight. Wo get no b.olp at all from
them heavy women"
And that was all I could get out of him
I never had much better luck with Chief
Benjamin A Glcqucl , who Is the oldest
r
wearer of the Dennett mudal , Just as Coleman -
man Is the } oungCht , or the ono wno received
It lasf. He was willing enough to talk about
the science of putting put flre > s , of Depart
ment Chief Banner , the , "inau of few vvirds , "
who , ho thinks , has mastered thn art bco'id
any man living , of thebackdraft and al
most an } thing else pontalniug to the busl-
nesh ; but when I Insisted upon h'o telling
mo the storv of the nwcue of the Schaefcr
family of ( he from a burning tenement
down In Chciiy strcet.i In which he earned
his rank and reward , ho laughed n good-
humored little laugh , aud : said It was "th ?
old man" meaning Stlmefer who should
have had the medal. "It was a grand thing
In him to let the little ones come out first "
I have sometimes wished tlmt firemen were
ret so modcnt. It would 1 > o much eoisler. If
not BO satisfactory , to record their gallant
deeds. Hut I am not sure that It Is , after
all , modesty so much ns a wholly different
point of view. It Is business with them the
work of their HVCH The ono feeling that Is
allowed to rise bccml this Is the fooling.of
exultation In the face of peril conquered b }
courage , which Colcman expressed On the
ladder ho was boss' ' It was the fancy of a
mabterful man , and none- but a masterful
man would have got upon the ladder at all

Presently the crowd sees rubber-ooated ,

How firemen manage to hear In their sleep

through any number tl.atj concerns the next
company not them , ls > ono of the mysteries
that will probabl } nhvajs remain unsolved
"I don't know , " said 'Department Chief
Ilonner , when I asked him once. "I guess it
Is the same way with everybody You hear
what you have to hear , i There Is a gong
right over my bed at home , and I hear
every stroke of It , but I don't hear the baby
My wife hears the baby If It as much as
stlra In Us cilb , but not the gong" Very
likely ho Is right. The fact that the fire
man can hear and count correctly the stroki-s
of the gong In Ills sleep has meant life to
many hundreds , and no end of property
saved ; for It U In the early momenta of a

recall ono Instance In which the failure to

of taking a wrong road to the flro. cost a

ANNEXATION NOT POPULAR.

Americans owned It. American shlw | car

Ho read an extract from a report of Ad

amounting to $1S. The encounter took plice

Carney , who Is nbout SO } earn old and lives
with lila parents at the number mentioned
had spent the evening down town. He had
some- distance to walk from the end ot the
street car line' and was m'aklug good prog
ress along Twent } fourth Hlrect when ho MXW
two men landing on the corne-r of Temple-

the -way and Carney left "the sidewalk to
pass clear of them. As ho came opposite
them Carne > } sas that one of the men drew
his hnnda from his overcoat jwckots and he'
eaw1 that ixach hand , held n nickel-plated 10-

Carney followed directions while the fcecond

ho reached the Ames avenue street car
'barns ' , where ho at once notified the jnillce
station Detectives were sent to the loca

result The } were Inclined to believe that
no holdup whatever had occurred.
The scene of the robbery Is quite daik
