Civil veteran and last survivor of the band of Union soldiers which captured Jefferson Davis, president of the .southern Conlediracy, is dead here.

The statement on the Jefferson rapture follows: ' A detail of sixty men from the ‘Seventeenth Indiana and a like number from the Fourth Ohio regiment was sent, twenty miles below? Montgomery to capture Davis and his companions. I was one of the sixty from the Seventeenth Indiana. “We easily found the camp mentioned. but Jeff Davis wasn't there. We found four men and an old woman in the camp. When questioned concerning Davis’ whereabouts no one knew anything about him. “We surrounded the ramp, however, and made ready to spend the night there before returning to Montgomery the next morning. The old woman appeared, carrying a bucket, and asked for permission to go down to the spring near by to get some drinking water. Permission was readily granted. Recalls Woman's Garb “However, as she made her way toward the spring she stepped on a twig which broke and flipped lip * her large .hoop-skirt, revealing? to "the watchful eyes of the guard a man's riding' boots and spurs. The guard followed and as the ‘woman’ stooped over to get the pail of water raised the skin with his sword and discovered that instead of an ‘old woman’ he was within arms reach of Jeff Davis, the man whom the details had marched twenty miles to rapture. “Davis was taken back to camp by the guard and the attempted hoax revealed. lie was placed under heavy guard that night and the following day we marched back to Montgomery and turned him over to the general in charge of camp. That is the last I ever saw of Jeff Davis, but I'll never forget the incident in the camp south of Montgomery when we captured him.” CLAIM FOLLOWS DEATH Andersoii Man .Seeks Damages After Fatal Injury to Wife.
