RELIABLE SOUTH DAKOTA LIVE
STOCK INSURANCE co.

The following is taken from the
Home Messenger, Brookings, ). D.,
and should be of interest TO every
farmer and stock raiser in the state
1t was early predicted by this pa
per that the Equitable Mutual Insur-
ance company of this city would take
its place among the first of companies
operating in the state. as we have al
ways contended that a home company
which had fully complied with the
stringent insurance laws of the state
of South Dakota and which is backed
by men of reputation and financial
ability. and where the management is
in experienced hands, could be of
great benefit to the insuring people
of the state. The Equitable Mutual
has all of these things. It's officers,
directors and incorporators are
among the best citizens of Brookings
county and with the management in
the present hands, and with these
men back Of IL to give the company
their assistance, there is no question
but what there is a wonderful future
for the Equitable.
The live stock department of this
company is faSt becoming a IaNorlte
with the farmers of the state and we
find it being literally patronized by
them. This class of insurance. while
only recently taken OF by this COM
pany, is not a new venture in the in
urance world, as their plan is taken
from companies who have operated
In other states for a number of years
very successfully and eliminates prac-
tically all of the risk hat heretofore
had to be taken by the farmer who
raises live stock, as the company in
sures all classes against death from
any cause under a blanket policy.

MORTGAGE
Supreme Court Test on Reckoning
Real Estate.

Keystone, Sept. 2S.-An impor-
tant case arising in Lawrence county,
to be appealed to the state supreme
court, will determine whether any
person may redeem another's prop
erty from mortgage foreclosure by
the consent Of the party who has a
right TO redeem, but does not desire
to exercise 1t.
The plaintiffs in the action are N.
IT. Mason, John II. Jones and H.. S.
Vincent, while the defendant is
Charles S. Hardin. The plaintiffs re-
deemed the Hardin ranches, which
are of great value, and Judge Nc
Nenny of the state circuit court held
against Mr.. Hardin and in favor of
the plaintiffs. The case will be APP
pealed to the supreme court by Mr..
Hardin. The action was the out
growth of McCutcheon of New York
not redeeming certain of the Hardin
ranches, which Mason, Jones and
Vincent redeemed, claiming to do so
for Mr.. McCutcheon. 1t is contended
by Hardin that as they had no inter
est in the land they had no right to
redeem, and that they should forfeit
the money advanced to make such re-
demption.

STRANGE Drug HABIT
MESCAI BEAN DEMORAIlZES
PINE RIDGE AGENCY
INDIANS.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 2S.-An investi-
CATION conducted by United States
Attorney Stewart, who has just re-
turned to Sioux Falls. discloses that
many of the Sioux Indians on the
Pine Ridge reservation are becoming
demoralized through the use OF what
is known as the mescal bean or tut
ton. which sometimes Is referred to
as dry whisky" The government.
as a result, will do everything pos
sible to stamp out the habit and de-
clare an embargo on the sale to these
Indians of the bean.
The investigation revealed that
those Indians who have formed the
habit of eating these beans have gath
erings at intervals at some agreed
upon point on the reservation, a Tea
ture of these meetings, which con-
tinue for several days at a time, be-
ing the eating of these beans, which
they term peyote. The effect of the
eating of these beans is to ~intoxicatf
the user. The constant use OF the
beans for four or five years vii
either drive a person insane or viii
kill him.
1t is said the practice of eating
peyote has increased among northern
Indians and has been adopted as part
of their religious exercises. the
growing consumption of the drug Is
viewed with great apprehension
among government officials charged
with the care of the Indians, and ev-
cry effort lis being made to stop its
use.
In an effort to stamp out the prac-
tice on the Pine Ridge reservation
several Indian warriors have been ar
rested by the federal authorities on a
charge of giving to Indian members
of their society articles which pro
duce int~oxication," which refers &c
the mescal bean. Defendants have
been bound owe to appear before the
grand Jury at the next term OF Unit
ed States court at Deadwood.

Although this government Is not sat

still continues here. Officials cannot

Altogether the whole affair Is re-

time when good relations with the va
