General Watts, OF Kanawha, and
Ralphsnyder, OF Preston The two last
named succeeded In raising HEst-clasS
sensation in the shape OF personal
war OF words, which came near wind

Pendleton, Watts and Ralphsnyder
were sitting In Patton's Hotel lobby,
talking and engaging in good humors

Watts, General Watts, did you not
