In June 1931, Kid Tannen owned the Hill Valley speakeasy and the Sisters of Mercy Soup Kitchen while the remaining members of the gang worked for the businesses. This involved smuggling the alcohol into Hill Valley and making a profit from the local consumers. While not smuggling alcohol, Cue Ball was making the soup. After Arthur McFly went to the Hill Valley Courthouse to answer a subpoena, Matches & Cue Ball showed up to take to El Kid to find out how much he told the DA. They along with Zane were taken care of by Marty when he showed up to rescue Arthur.
