WlTHPE'T PUPPY
LAD HANGS SELF
Second Tragedy Within Course
of Four Years Leaves GOlva
Couple Childless

Go'va, N. D., July 5.-WhiIe
Playing "circus" with his dog,
Weber Page, aged II, and only
Child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman
Page, in some manner became en-
tangled in a rope which he had
around the animals neck, and he
was found dead, hanging by the
neck over the reels of binder
on his fathers place. His mother,
made the terrible discovery. She
had seen him, only a few minutes
before, happily playing with his
pet, which the lad was teaching
to do stunts that he had seen in
a circus a few days before.
The tragedy is made doubIy sad
from the fact that the boys only
brother, Wallace Page, was
drowned in Bullion creek, near
Burkey, about four years ago, and
this second accident leaves Mr..
and Mrs. Page chiIdIess. Lyman
Page is we'll known over the
state. Last fall he was a candi-
date on the independent ticket
for secretary Of state.
Funeral services for Webber
Page were held yesterday, and
the remains were inferred at the
side Of those Of Wallace Page in
the Beach cemetery.

HARTUNG FORCED
STOCK TICKET

Dickinson, N. D., July st. N.
Hartung, sheriff Of Stark county,
pleaded guilty in federal court at
Bismarck to forging a name on a
stock ticket. The act, it is alleged,
was committed a year ago, when
Hartung went to St. Paul to arrest
Ben Sisley on a larceny charge. Sis
ley, who had accompanied a load of
cattle to market, had two tickets for
transportation. Upon one of these, it
is alleged, Hartung forged the name
of the man for whom 1t was original
ly issued, AL Hike of Belfield. Har-
tung was arra!gned under the trans
portation act Of 1887.

R REVOLUTION
GETS QUICK
ACTI0NIN PERU
Augusta B. Leguia, New Presi.
dent of South American
Republic

Lima, Peru, Friday, I"ly 4.-Au
gusto B. Leguia, late today assumed
office as provisional president Of
Peru and took up his residence in the
government palace as result of the
successful overthrow early in the day
of President Pardo.
Senior Pardo, his ministers and a
number of high officials of the army
and navy are in prison. Pardo is
detained in the penitentiary here.
Virtually no fighting and no casual
ties marked the overthrow Of the
Pardo government. Senor Leguia is
supported by virtually all the army
and navy officials and public opin'
ion apparently is behind him.
The revolution began at three this
morning by an attack on the palace
by two regiments of troops and a
force of police. BY 6 o'clock Senor
Pardo had been deposed. and Senor
Leguia proclaimed provisional presi
dent. The movement was similar to
that which resulted in the overthrow
of President Billinghurst on Febru
ary 4, 1914. =,
It was announced late today that
President Pardo would be placed on
trial on charges of having violated the
constitution and Of having conspired
against the institutions Of the repub
lie. VS.
Two soldiers were killed and three
others including a subordinate officer
were killed in the overthrow of the
government forces at Lima.
Officials in prison included the min
lister of war, the chief of staff of the
navy, and the priest of Callao.
The chief of staff of the army and
forty of his subordinates escaped.
Because of the situation, the Fourth
of July reception, to have been held
by the American legation was can
celled.

Minneapolis, MINI, July 5.-Durng
the past week the weather conditions
have been favorable for the crops of
Minnesota, South Dakota, and the
eastern half of North Dakota. There
has been little rain and the weather
Las been hot and windy. This dried,
to a great extent, much of the territory
that has too much moisture. -Fy
In northwestern North Dakota good
rains have fallen the past week. One
or two days the temperature was very
high, accompanied by hot winds which
have no doubt had some effect on small
grain. Southeastern North Dakota
and the entire state Of Montana are
badly n need Of rain. In Montana
many streams which have in the past
supplied water for irrigating purposes
in the valleys and basins, have almost
dried up. With the exception of q
very few localities the state will have
one Of the lightest crops in its history.
WHEAT HEADED OUT.
In many districts throughout the
northwest wheat Is all headed. In the
eastern and southern territory it is in
an exceptionally good shape and with

Gently, harvest will be about as early
as the average.
Barley and oats are little thin in
some places, but on the whole are very
satisfactory. Some of the late barley
in North Dakota has been damaged by
grasshoppers, but we find that the dam

is more severe on ground where crops
We're stubbled in. The farmers are
still using poison, doing all they can
in this way to stop the damage.
SOUTH DAKOTA RYE LEADS.
! In South Dakota the rye crop is the
best in the territory. Some of our
correspondents advise that it may av.
crage in their districts from 25 to &c
bushels while in others it is estimated
from 10 to Is bushels. In Minnesota
and eastern North Dakota the crop, as
a rule, is thinner and estimates arc
around Is bushels average. In the

FLAX LOOKS GOOD.
The condition Of flax in Minnesota

Near Mineola
TWO GIANT BIRDS IN AIR

Washington, July 5.-The British
dirigible R-34 has asked the navy de-
partment if an American destroyer
could meet her at the Bay of Funday
and take her in tow if desired. The
message was received at the depart
ment at II a. M, five minutes after
one addressed to the British admiralty
reported that the R-34's fuel supply
was getting low. The ship was then
flying across Nova Scotia.
Two American destroyers were ord
cred today to proceed toward the Bay
of Fundy to lend any required assist
ance to the British derigible R-34
which reported that she was fighting
a head wind over Nova Scotia with
her fuel supply getting low.
The destroyers will put out from
Boston with orders to establish radio
communication with the dirigible as
quickly as possible, and also to keep
in touch with the Otter cliff main
wireless station.
Lieut.. Col. Lucas believed that
Major Scott's message was sent by
him after the R-34's call for aid. Lieut.
Col. Lucas thought it probable the
dirigible would have to land to refuel
but then would proceed on her journey
to Mineola.
Almost out of fuel, after her long
run from East Fortune, Scotland, the
British dirigible R-34 asked the navy
department late this afternoon wheth
er destroyers were being sent to he1
assistance. The messages were re
ceived at l: :15 p. m. and WIN sent tn,
R-34 was still over Nova Scotia.
This message was sent to the R-34
by radio:
"U. S. Satilla left Cross island
Maine, at 12;40 p. m. to assist you
Two destroyers leaving Boston will
communicate with you."
Mineola, N. Y, July 5.-The R-34
will arrive at Roosevelt Field Sunday
morning, according to Major Scott
her commander, in wireless dispatch
received today.
According to the information re
ceived by 1t. Col. Lucas, two destroy
ers have been sent at full speed In
response to call for assistance from
R-34.

WORLDS GREATEST AIRSHIPS

WORLDS GREATEST AIRSHIPS.
New York. July 5.-The R-34 and her
sister airship the R-3, and the world s
greatest dirigibles. The war brought
them into being, for they were original
ly designed to out-vie Germany's Zep-
pelins and bring death and destruction
to German cities. When they were
building it was reported that they
would be the f1agshps of a gigantic fleet
of aircraft that would be launched on
u tremendous raid OH Berlin. For this
purpose they were equipped with op-
cnings through which four SO0-pound
hombs and sixteen of 120 pounds could
be dropped, while on the upper struc-
ture emplacements were built for bat
teries of eight guns.
The sudden end of the world war
put stop to plans for raid on Ber-
lin and the architects of the dirigibles
turned their attention to remodeling
their craft for peaceful purposes. But
their plans were again interrupted in
June when the war clouds gathered on
reports that Germany would refuse to
accept the allied peace terms. The R-34
was swiftly put LII wal IIlul ullu SldlI u
ed on cruise of 1000 miles over the
Baltic and the German coast regions.
She carried no bombs, but, equipped
with rapid firing guns, swept over the
enemy's territory at low altitude, her
enormous shadow making grim threat
of possibilities.
The cruise was made without mis-
hap and when peace finally was assur-
cd the crew Of the R-34 resumed opera
ations for the flight to Amerca. Orig
inally it was planned that the voyage
should be made by the R-33 also, but it
was decided that too much time would
be needed to remodel the sister ship.
RIVALS OCEAN LINER.
The R-34 was built in Inchinnan,
near Glasgow. In size she rivals all
but the very largest ocean liners. Her
length is GAO feet, her beam 70 feet and
