Beshoar wanted to know when Clark could finish one very necessary part of the flood assignment-an account of the disaster as seen by a family caught...
...When Beshoar became chief of our Denver bureau four years ago, he was a highly competent newspaper reporter, who had learned his trade on Denver's Rocky Mountain News, the Des Moines Register and Tribune, and various Colorado dailies and weeklies.

There is also the telephone and Beshoar's wide acquaintance with the people, the background history, and the current facts of the Rocky Mountain area. Now 42, Beshoar is a native of Trinidad, Colo.

Grandfather also founded four newspapers, of which only the Pueblo Chieftain survives (another, the defunct Trinidad Advertiser, provided the late Damon Runyon with...
