MEN WHO FIRED LAST SHOTS OF THE WAR

A COLUMBUS (Ohio) man
 N claims to have fired the last N shot of the war of Seces-
 sion-David N. Osyor, the Columbus Dispatch states. He was member of Company F, Ninth Ohio cavalry. On the morning of April IT, 1865, that command was near Dur ham Station, N. c. It was keeping close watch on Gen. Joe Wheeler's cavalry, which was on the opposite side of an extensive swamp. Part of the Union cavalry was ordered to dis mount and wade across the swamp to distract the Confederates, while the rest constructed a corduroy bridge. They used their carbines so vigorously that the Confederates surmised that a them, and the road builders got along fine with their bridge.
 Near the other edge of the swamp Osyor says a Confederate bullet just clipped his sergeant's chevron and the skin on his arm. Looking for the source of the bullet, he spied the long barrel of gun and the gray legs of a Confederate soldier in the forks of a tree in front of him, and he fired at them. He saw the legs withdrawn and the owner of them crawl slowly away.
 Just then a flag of truce came in sight and the Union men were ordered 1to cease firing. The occurrence, Osyor 6aid, did not impress him at the time, but that flag of truce was really the sign of the end of the Civil war, for the general surrender came soon and the troops were sent home.
 A strange part of the story is that long after the war Osyor met at Bir- mingham, Ala, a man named Amos Thompson, who was lame-said he had been wounded in the Confederate service and, comparing notes, they es- tablished to the satisfaction of both that Thompson was the man who was in the tree on the edge of the Durham swamp back in 1865, had shot at Osyor and been shot in turn by him. Osyor's bullet struck Thompson in the knee and made him cripple for life. They agreed that they had fired the very last shot on each side in the Civil war.

 fight And change her foes to loyal friends That name shows full effuIgenee
