Description:
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma Times newspaper. Caption: "Little Mike Whitt may be "too old for active duty as a deputy" in Okmulgee Co., but he didn't let that stop him. He's sporting a badge and card as a deputy in Pittsburg Co., and that's Dee Sanders, Pittsburg Co. sheriff, placing the badge on his jacket. Mike didn't get much response in his home county, Okmulgee, and then petitioned the home of his grandfather, O. H. Whitt, who is assistant county attorney there."
