JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The Man Who Captured and Saved
the Life OF the Great Rebel.
Special to the Globe.

SPNSA-A " bhN CiObC-
INDIANAPOLIs, Aug. 15.-The annual
reunion of the Seventy-seventh Indiana
regiment, Fourth cavalry, was held to-day.
An important event in the regimental
history was the capture of JEFF Davis.
The Fourth cavalry was at Macon, Ca.
when that event occurred and two of its
companies had been detailed 10 look after
the fleeing chief. They were hot
on his tracks and it was
only the accident OF time and
place that gave the Second Michigan and
First Wisconsin the honor of capturing the
president of the Confederacy. However,
this disappointment was modified
by the fact of Lieut. Is
grigg of Mai Gen. Wilson's staff
being provost marshal of Macon at the
time. He was a Fourth cavalry officer of
Company 1 and enjoyed the distinction of
bringing Davis into the city under arrest.
He described his participation in
this affair to-day as follows: Il went out
TO the line of my jurisdiction to receive
Davis. two miles and half from Macon.
He became my prisoner and L brought
him into the city in an old farm wagon.
1t was vehicle with a great deal to con-
denim it in the way of unSightliness. 1t
had weakness all over it, but suffi-
cienJ strength to hold jefferson
Davis, myself and his secretary.
The rebel chief sat between us, and over
his head from a pole fixed to the seat
hung the hOOpskirt calico wrapper
and an old straw hood which
formed his disguise. When captured
Davis bore himself with the fortitude of
brave man in trouble. He was courteous
TO me and TO the guard, talked freely
on every question but that relating TO the re-
suit OF the war. When we stopped at the
International hotel and were about to get
cut of the wagon, Capt. Thompson of the
Fourth Indiana cavalry drew his re-
vOlyer to IRE at Davis. 1 saw his
movement and struck the weapon with my
arm. The bullet tore my coat and shirt,
and at that moment Davis seeing ThOmp-
sons purpose cried out, ''FOr Gods sake,
lieutenant, save my life" got the
prisoner out of the wagon
and into the hotel with
good deal of alaerity. after
that never met Davis until l saw him at
a Louisville hotel in 1872. He recognized
me and approached and said: I must
thank you again. Lieut.. Isgugg, for saving
nv life. Before this 1 had received let
ter OF thanks from him."

at the White house say he seldom
