T. L. Shahan Left
for Hot Springs
T. L. (Uncle Tom) Shahan,
ranchman of southeast of Arnett,
pioneer citizen of western Okla-
homa and the Texas Panhandle,
left last Thursday for Hot
Springs, Arkansas, where he will
take treatment and baths for an
ailment which has been keeping
him under the weather for several
months. Uncle Tom is one of tne
finest character# and one of the
most contrary democracts we ever
knew. In fact he is so contrary
that he still contends, that Bill
Murray is the greatest man in
Oklahoma. Regardless of his
stubbornness in politics, Uncle
Tom is liked and respected by
everyone for fourty miles around
and we join with hundreds of
other friends in hoping the baths,
Arkansas climate and possibly an
occasional nip of real mountain
dew will bring back his good
health.—Ellis Co. Capital, Arnett,
