Indians and Liquor-State's at'or-
ney of Charles Mix County Claims
that State Statute Covers the Gas
Other Dakota News.

A Sioux Falls special says: States At
torney III. ID. James, of Charles Min
County, has started what doubtless viii
be a successful campaign to prevent IN
dams from obtaining liquor III CharIeH
Mix County. Since the decision of the
United States supreme court some months
ago to the effect that it was not Il vlolh-
ton of the federal statutes to sell liquor
to an Indian who had taken his allotment
of land, the state and county authorities
have believed themselves powerlesS to
regulate the sale of liquor to these In
dians.
But States Attorney James has discov-
cred that there is Il state statute covering
the question, and his discovery viii prove
of interest TO the authorities OF every
county in the state which has Indians
among its population. Mr.. James points
to section TAG of chapter 81 of the penal
code of South Dakota as ample authority
for state and county authorities to pre-
vent the sale of liquor to Indians.
The section of the penal code referring
to the matter reads as follows:
Every person who shall give. barter,
sell, or in any n dispose Of any in
tOXicating liquor to any Indian, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanOr."
Attorney James maintains that not
withstanding the decision Of the United
States supreme court this section OF the
state penal code is in full force and effect,
for the federal supreme court expressly
mentioned that Indians who had taken
their allOtmentS Of land were subject to
the police power of the state in which
resided.
