THE LAST SHOT Ohio Man Claims He Knded War of Secession. A man Is still living in Columbus who claims to have fired the last shot <>r the war of the rebellion ? David N. <>*yer. He was a luember of Co. F. Ninth Ohio cavalry. On the morning of April 17, 1805, that command was near Durham Station, N. C. It. was keeping close watch on (Jen. Joe ' Wheeler's cavalry, which wj^s on the* opihisite side of an extensive swamp. Part of the Colon cavalry was order ed ii> dismount and wade across the swamp to distract the Confederates while the rest constructed a corduroy I iridic. TliUjV. used tlud?^ carbines so vigirously that the Confederates sur mised that a vory eoiiHiderable force was coming sit them and the road builders got alone fine with their bridge. Near the other edge of the swamp Osyer says :i Confederate bullet just j elip|MMl his sergeants chevron and the skin of his arm. Looking for the source of the bullet, he spied the long barrel of a gun and the gray lees of a Confederate soldier i it the forks of a tree in front of him. and he fired at them. lie saw the legs withdrawn and the uAUivr of- them crawl s I owty away. just then a flftg of truce came In fetght. and i he Cnion men were order ed t<> eense firing. The oceurrenee. Oysor says. did not impn ?-s him -it the time, but the flag of truce was really Hie sign <>f the end of the re bellion. that the general surrender came soon and the troops were sent home. .t A strange part of the story is that long after the war Osyer met at llir iningham. Ala., a. man named Amos Thompson, who was lam?V and he had been wounded in the Confederate ser vice. 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 1805. had. shot at. Oy ser and been shot in turn by him. Hy sons bullet struck Thompson in the knee and made him a cripple for life. They agreed that they had fired the very last shot on each side in the civ il war. ?
