CHANGES HANDS
W. C. Beufer, wife and son, Ken
neth, came down from Lead last
Thursday evening, the wife and son to
visit with friends and "Ben" to hav
farewell duck hunt. Mr. Benfer
has sold his paper in Lead, the Daily
Register, to his former city editor,
J. E. Balllnger, and after a brief stay
n this vicinity will take his family to
Denver where he expects to again en
ter the printing business as a hired
man until such time as an opportun
ity presents itself to purchase a plant
In some of the adjoining towns of
that city when he will branch out for
himself again. He has had a strenu
ous time In the management of the
Register for the past five years, and
particularly the last year, during
which time he has been sleepless in
attempting to keep the miners' union
alive. In doing this, from principle,
he has met all kinds of discourage
ments, many of those who believed
differently from Mr. Benfer doing ev
erything possible to make life a bur
den for him, going so far as to enter
his office at night time and breaking
up his machinery with sledge ham
mers, and on other occasions sending
rifle balls into hU office with the
hope, presumably, of ."accidentally"
knocking him off the Christmas tree.
There has been many efforts to boy
cott the paper, also, and all these ef
forts combined has made life some
thing of a burden. But Benfer al
ways kept on hammer and tongs, and
striking where he believed he waa
right, and now, not because he Is
afraid of those who are after htm,
but because he believes that the pa
per in new hands will accomplish the
object for which he has been laboring,
he turning the paper over to the pres

will prove beneficial to all concerned.
Although it is believed Mr. Balllnger
will keep the reputation of the Reg

by the many readers of the paper.
