YanktOn Indians
Use Mescal Beans
Three Men Are Arrested on Com
plant of Major Runke and Taken
to Sioux Falls for Trial.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D.. April 12.-Arrivals
from Yankton Indian agency, ON the Mis-
rouri river in the south-central part Of the
state. bring information Of the arrest Of
three Indians named Charley Jones.
Charley Medicine Horn and James Blaine
for using what is known as mescal beans.
The three Indians were arrested on COM
plaint Of Major Walter Runke, United
States Indian agent at Yankton agency.
The defendants have retained Hiram
Chase, n mixed-blood Indian attorney Of
the Omaha reservation, to defend them
and will make a hard fight to secure their
release. These beans are Mexican
product. and II is said that when properly
prepared, liquor made from them causes
the person drinking it to go into 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 5000
Indians in South Dakota have been ar
rested for preparing and drinking such
liquor.
