     In 1884 J. G. Murphy and W. A. Guthrie, co-workers at the San Angelo Enterprise, bought the weekly newspaper operation and began the Standard. The first four-page edition was published on May 3 of that year. Early stories included coverage of frontier scalpings and the life of the Fort Concho soldier.
