Established as the Argus, Jan. 1, 1890, in the new railroad town of Claude. Later it merged with Goodnight News to become Claude News. First publisher, W. S. Decker, sold paper to B. F. Hines, who sold to J. H. Hamner, in 1892. His daughter Laura V., later a foremost historian of the early great ranches of Texas Panhandle, edited the paper in this period. About 1913 Hamner sold to Spurgeon and Marvin Bishop. On Jan. 1, 1916, Thos. T. Waggoner, founder of 4 Oklahoma weeklies, bought the News. After his death, his sons Wm. J. B. and Cecil acquired ownership, in 1950. (1969)
