from Yankton Indian agency, on the MIs
ronrl river In the south -central part of the
atate. bring Information of the arrest of
thiee Indians named Charley Jones.
Charley Medicine Horn and James Ulaine
for using what Is known as mescal beans.
The three Indians were arrested on com
plaint of Major Walter Runke, Vniteil
States Indian agent at Yankton agency.
The defendants have retained Hiram
Chase, a mixed-blood Indian attorney of
the Omaha reservation, to defend them
and will make a hard fight to secure their
release. These beans are a Mexican
product, and It Is said that when properly
prepared, liquor made from them causes
the person drinking It to go Into a trance
from which he does not recover for several
hours. The liquor is stated to have about
the same effect as opium.
The Indians connect these beans and the
effect of the liquor made from them with
a religious belief of a peculiar nature.
This Is the first time that any of the 20.0o0
Indians In South Dakota have been ar
rested for preparing and drinking such
liquor.

SIOUX FALLS. S. P., April 12. (SperJal.)
To have a woolen scarf drawn about her
neck so tightly, as the result of the scarf
catching in a wringer operated by a gaso
line engine, that the scarf cut Into the
flesh of her neck and nearly choked her
to death, was the experience of Sarah Van
der Under, aged 14, of Corsica. Only ten
seconds ot time stood between tha girl
and death. She was aiding her mother and
slater do the family washing when the
scarf caught In the wringer. The gasoline
engine operating the wringer was going at
high speed and the scarf tightened about
ber neck ao quickly that she had no oppor
tunity to call for assistance. Her mother
chanced to look toward her and discovering
her predicament hastened to her and re
leased her from her perilous situation. The
girl was unconscious and the mother be.
Ueved her dead. It took a physician iomt
Urn to bring her back to consciousness
and life. Her neck Is badly cut and bruised.

RAPID CITT, 8. D., April 11 (Special
Telegram.) The nineteenth annual session
of Western South Dakota Stock Growers'
association closed this morning with an ex
ecutive, meeting. II. F. Dawson of Pine
Ridge continues as president. All officers
were re-elected by acclamation. Action on
tha herd law was the feature of the con
vention. The executive committee decided
to send this law to the referendum. This
will he done by securing 6,300 signatures to
a petition before June 4 and prevent the law
becoming operative for two years. It Is
believed that this will be eksy, aa small
farmers see a menace In the Saw for them.
With free range denied and cattle sold the
small farmer has no market for his hay
and feed. The committee believes the time
not ripe for a herd law on this side of the
river. While constant settling up of the
country has decreased the number of cat
tle, the association has gained members.

Charter Bill Contains Some
Important Provisions.
The South Omaha charter bill, which
Governor Aldrlch signed yesterday, carrlea
some provisions which are of the utmost
importance to the city. The extension of
the terms of the present officials until
ay, 1913. is, In the estimation of business
men, but subsidiary to the other benelits
conferred. "That date, however," said a
merchant yesterday, when he heard the
news, "looks significant as it is the day
the Omaha election." Continuing, ha
asked the question, "can It nave anything
to do with annexation?"
The Increase of the fire and police funds
one of the most Important features of
the bill. The condition of these funds at
the preaent time Is such that men will be
laid off until the end of the financial year.
This course, in the opinion of Mayor
Trainor, Is absolutely necessary, if a
serious overlap is to be avoided. In an
Interview he gave out a week or so ago,
he said that the preaent policy of laying
men off In the police department at the
rate of five a month would make the
eflclt about M?.0.
The police fund is now Increased from
,000 to 140,000.
'But what's the use of all this Increase,"
said a large taxpayer last night, "if the
Fire and Police board will continue the
policy of the past. Why do not they ex
ercUe business discretion and keep the
trength tf the departments within their
means.
City Clerk Good says that the new bill
Its Improved arrangements as to the
length of term of paving bonds, will mean
saving to the city of about $12,000 a year.
Fatare of Cosatry Clab.
Becretary C. F. Cox has sent out a call
for a meeting of all the members of the
South Omaha Country club for Friday
night in T. J. O'Nell's office, Twenty
fourth and M streets. The object of the
meeting Is stated to be the continuance
of the club on its present site.
It is known that a committee of the
club has been seeking for another and
less expensive location, but whether any
thing will be done this year will depend
on the feeling and representation at this
-meeting. "There Is so little interest
shown," said a director, "that I don't know
whether the club will continue to exist
or not." That may be taken as the sit
uation for the club to
night.
The present grounds have been bought
from Dr. C. M. Schlndel by the directors
in pursuance- to the option given them.

cide Is. can they pay the rent that will
