The unnamed man in the saloon with barbed wire, with whom Doc Brown converses is John Warne Gates. He was a salesman for the Southern Wire Company of St. Louis, Missouri, which merged with the wire company of William Edenborn to form Braddock Wire Company, from which Consolidated Steel and Wire Company was organized in 1888. With the help of Chicago attorney Elbert Henry Gary, he created a monopoly in the US wire industry in 1898 with American Steel and Wire Company. This was sold in 1901 to J.P. Morgan in a deal (also negotiated by Gary) to become part of the new US Steel conglomerate. Gates was also a founder of The Texas Company which became the Texaco oil company. This is another reference to the Texaco company which is represented in the first and second movie and (due to this reference) in all time frames.
