The Changing Times: Butchers gave away beefsteaks for
awhile in Texas.
Cattle were so plentiful in the 1870’s that only the hide was of
much value. Disposal of the carcasses was such a problem that
Gulf Coast packers offered all of the choice beef free that one could
carry away.

By Pat and Jack Maguire
Two Austin banks came to the rescue in 1909 when a law-
breaker elected to pay a $1,808,483.30 fine in cash. It was the
largest fine ever paid the State of Texas.
Two years earlier, the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. had been found
guilty of violating Texas anti-trust laws. The court cancelled its
permit to do business and assessed a fine of $1,623,000. The com-
pany appealed, but lost the case and the fine was due on April 24,
1909. By then the interest had raised the total to almost $2 million.
Piqued at losing its case, the company decided to pay off in cash
so the State Treasurer would have to count the money. Two Austin
banks were able to furnish $1,200,000 in $5,000 and $10,000 bills,
but the remaining $608,483.30 was all in small bills and coins. The
money was delivered from the banks to the Capitol in an open
touring car with the Travis County sheriff accompanying the
driver. The sheriff carried a loaded and cocked 12-gauge shotgun
and the money was delivered without incident.

How It Began: John W. (Bet-a-Million) Gates, a brash young
hardware drummer, introduced barbed wire to Texas in 1877 with
a feat of salesmanship that has rarely been equaled.
Gates erected a barbed wire enclosure on San Antonio’s Mili-
tary Plaza and filled it with 50 Longhorn steers. Then he bet the
assembled ranchers $100 against $10 that the fencing which
he described as “lighter than air, stronger than whiskey and
cheaper than dirt” would hold the steers against anything.
To prove it, Gates hired a rider carrying a flaming torch to whip
the herd into a stampede. The frightened steers lunged into the

impressed with the harmony
in the district as they did not
field one complaint from any
of the staff during their
questioning period. They
were impressed with the
amount of work going on in
the classrooms and stated
the TABS scores of the
district were outstanding in
relation to the other scores in
the state. The team also felt

scores were above the
national average.
The team did find some
negatives to report on the
district, but they were very
few, three to be exact. The
team stated the library must
be on the ground floor as
required by state law. The
present high school library is
on the second floor, but steps
are already being taken to
correct this in the building
program being planned. The
team felt the library needed
more volumes and suggested
more electrical outlets be
provided in the intermediate
school.
