When Col. Whitney arrived here
Thursday evening, he found the local
officers not in the most friendly mood,

courtesies possible. Gen. Wood was
communicated with by telephone, but
nothing came OF tho conferenss, except
that Col. Buschers promised to meet
the General at St. Paul the next day.

know what he really wanted s<-e. He
did state that he had instrEions TO
take back to st. Paul Col. Duschers'
