ter disposed of the paper today to his
city editor, J.. E. Ballinger, who
takes possession at once. Mr.. Benfer
has been publishing the paper for

and hunt up a master and become
a wage slave" His successor, Mr..
B%allinger. has been assistaing him
with his paper with the exception of
a year during the past five years, or
ever since he started the paper, as
a daily. He is a bright writer and
a good printer and will no doubt
give his readers a good, readable pa
per. The paper will be conducted
along the same lines as under the
former management. The Telegram
wishes Mr.. Ballinger success and re.
grets to lose MI. Benfer from the
newspapers of the Black Hills, for he
has been a good neighbor, always
ready and willing to do a neighborly
act of kindness and always has
shown the fraternal spirit.

three houses there, Major John
Brennan, now Indian agent at Pine
Ridge was living there. Howard
Worth had a coral there. This same
year Rapid City took a squirt and
became quite a village. The Nc
Curdy boys stayed there a short time
and finally pushed on to the North
ern Hills. There were no North
western or Burlington trains in those
days, no good county roads, or au-
tomobiles. and the going was some
thing like fierce business, but they
got here. They were both expert

GOMPERS SAYS COURTS

President Of American Federation of
Labor Makes Attack on
Judiciary.

Labor Day address here Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, attacked the

posed to labor. After touching on
the case wherein himself. John Nit

Jail sentences, and other cases where
fines were assessed against labor
men, Mr.. Gompers said:
at is done in the hope Of crushing
the spirit Of labor. These autocrats
find there is a moral awakening
among the working people Of our
country. They find that we know
our rights and are determined to as
sert them. Not more right than that
possessed by any other citizen, but
equal rights under the constitution
and before our God. The working
people propose to have a voice no,
only in the affairs Of our govern
ment, but in the industrial affairs OF
the people. All the decisions ".
have handed down to us are the ad.
advices of men so far removed from
the great hubbub Of life, from the
great movement Of the masses, thai
they cannot understand. I do not
accuse any man on the bench Of hav.
ing all motives. But as for the mel
occupying the positions in the greal
judiciary Of U country, the higher

will be delay in the proposed open
ing of the newly coded Indian lands
