1884 The Light asked San Antonians to assure the city's future by purchasing beer from local breweries rather than ordering from St. Louis. (The Lone Star Brewery was founded in 1884 by Adolphus Busch of Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company in St. Louis.)
1938 The headlines of the San Antonio newspapers describe a bus/train accident that resulted in the death of 26 children. This accident spawned the myth of the "ghost tracks" at Shane and Villamain. Despite being the lead story in the newspaper, the accident actually took place in Salt Lake City, Utah.
1973 A dark but colorful will be the story of this year's city Christmas tree in Alamo Plaza. Finishing touches are being made on the 60-foot tree, which will not have any lights this year because of the energy crisis, according to City Manager Sam Granata.
