190O-The Standard Oil Co. which
in Texas was concealed behind the
name of "Waters-Pierce Oil Co." was
ordered out of the state for violation
of the antitrust law and employed a
brilliant young lawyer, Joseph w.
Bailey, to arrange matters so that it
might continue to do business in
Texas.
In May, 1900, the young lawyer,
Bailey, "got the Standard back into
Texas"
In June, Bailey bought a six-thou-
sand-acre ranch, the Grapevine ranch
near Dallas, Texas; the value being
$3.50, 900.
1901-In September, Bailey came
into possession of some fine blooded
racehorses.
In 1901, Joseph w. Bailey was
elected to the United States senate.
A scandal about the Grapevine ranch
purchase arose; and Bailey claimed
that Governor David r. Francis of
Missouri, had given him the financial
backing.
