The Law Explained

Cowboys in the 1800s were known for their rowdy behavior, sometimes riding their steeds straight through the swinging doors of local watering holes to order a whiskey. This understandably caused massive property damage and frightened patrons. The town of Temple enacted an ordinance requiring all patrons to hitch their horses outside before wetting their whistles.
