NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have identified four people who died after the car they were in collided with a pickup truck on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
The Highway Patrol says all of the victims were from Mandaree. The agency identified them as 23-year-olds Jasmin White Owl and Matthew Yellow Wolf, 21-year-old Robert White Owl and 27-year-old Mario White Mountain.
They were in a car that authorities say failed to stop at the intersection of Highways 23 and 8 shortly after 9:30 p.m. Monday and collided with a Minot Air Force Base vehicle.
Jasmin White Owl was driving, and the other victims were passengers in the backseat. A front seat passenger in the car suffered serious injuries.
The two airmen in the pickup weren’t hurt. They’re assigned to the base’s 91st Missile Wing.
DRAKE, N.D. (AP) — A two-vehicle crash in McHenry County killed a 73-year-old Drake woman.
The Highway Patrol says Jacqualine Richter was driving a sport utility vehicle that turned in front of a car at an intersection on U.S. Highway 52 at Drake. The two vehicles collided shortly before 5:30 p.m. Monday.
Richter was flown to a Minot hospital, where she later died.
The two people in the car were taken to a Harvey hospital with unspecified injuries.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The number of farm animals killed or injured in south central North Dakota’s Sioux County continues to mount.
The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association says a horse was found shot and mutilated on Wednesday. It was in the same pasture where two cows were shot and injured earlier this week, and where five other animals were killed and 30 others went missing in recent weeks.
The incidents are near the site where people have gathered to protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline, but Stockmen’s Chief Brand Inspector Stan Misek (MEE’-sehk) says there is no evidence that there is any connection.
The rancher group is offering a reward of up to $14,000 for information that helps crack the cases.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota authorities are investigating a confrontation between journalists and protesters of the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline.
The Morton County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday that filmmaker Phelim Mcaleer and two colleagues were in the protest camp Tuesday near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation when people they were interviewing “got offended by a line of questioning.” Mcaleer made the documentary “FrackNation,” a 2013 rebuttal of anti-fracking film “Gasland,” about the process of shooting liquid under high pressure below ground to free energy from rock.
One person grabbed a reporter’s microphone, dragging him several feet, and the journalists’ car was blocked from leaving until law enforcement arrived.
The camp is home to protests against Energy Transfer Partners’ $3.8 billion pipeline. Demonstrators believe the pipeline threatens sacred sites and the Missouri River.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Standing Rock Sioux’s tribal council has voted to make tribal land available for those protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline, though an organizer from another tribe says many likely won’t move.
Standing Rock chairman Dave Archambault II says the tribal council voted 8-5 Tuesday to use reservation land so that permanent structures can be built to protect protesters from winter weather.
But protest organizer Cody Hall, who is part of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe in South Dakota, said Wednesday that the offer has come too late because many of the several hundred protesters are hunkered down on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property near where the four-state pipeline is being built.
The tribal land made available is about two miles south of the current camp.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Authorities have dropped murder charges against a Minnesota man suspected in the disappearance of a woman who’s been the subject of searches in the Dakotas.
Fifty-one-year-old Timothy James Barr, of Lakeville, was charged with second-degree murder and criminal vehicular homicide. He was accused of killing 45-year-old Michelle Lee Newell, of Vadnais Heights, who was last seen with him in late August.
Barr pleaded guilty Wednesday to fleeing police. But Ramsey County prosecutors dropped the more serious charges, saying the court lacks jurisdiction because there’s no evidence the alleged crimes were committed in Minnesota.
Prosecutors allege Barr indicated to informants he argued with Newell and ran her over before disposing of her body, possibly in North or South Dakota.
Authorities say Barr remains a suspect and the charges could be refiled.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Rain across northern North Dakota over the past week slowed harvest in that region.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that the corn and potato harvests remain behind the average pace, but the sunflower and sugar beet harvests are near the average and harvesting of soybeans is ahead of average.
Winter wheat seeding is 92 percent complete, with 78 percent of the crop emerged.
Pasture and range conditions in North Dakota are rated 53 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 77 percent adequate to surplus.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A company that has spent $6.4 million in state aid studying projects to find a clean and cost-effective use for North Dakota’s plentiful but low-grade coal has been granted another extension.
The North Dakota Industrial Commission on Wednesday unanimously approved an extension through December 2017 for Great Northern Project Development. The Houston company controls vast coal reserves in southwestern North Dakota and has been developing a massive coal mine complex near South Heart.
The company has been studying various lignite projects since 2001. It originally proposed construction of a power plant but also has studied a synthetic natural gas factory and a facility to turn lignite into liquid fuels.
Great Northern vice president Rich Voss says the company continues to look at all of its options for using lignite.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota has finalized an agreement to play Georgia Southern at home during the 2019 season.
The university on Wednesday announced the addition to the schedule, which also includes a home game against South Dakota State and a road trip to Fresno State that year.
Georgia Southern was a perennial FCS power and is now in its third season at the FBS level in the Sun Belt Conference. The Gophers are 11-1 all-time against current members of the league, having lost to New Mexico State at home in 2011.
The Gophers will host Buffalo and Middle Tennessee State in 2017 and travel to Oregon State. In 2018, they will play New Mexico State, Fresno State and Miami of Ohio — all at home.

In other awards announced Wednesday by the Twins, Ervin Santana was voted as pitcher of the year, Max Kepler was picked as most outstanding rookie, Byron Buxton was named defensive player of the year and Eduardo Escobar won the award for community service.
Former general manager Terry Ryan was selected as the media good guy, and Rod Carew was chosen for the Herb Carneal Lifetime Achievement Award.
NBA…
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A jury has cleared New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose and two friends in a lawsuit that accused them of gang raping his ex-girlfriend while she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol. The verdict was reached following a trial in which jurors in a federal court in Los Angeles heard dramatically different accounts of the August 2013 encounter. Neither side denied the three men had sex with the woman, but the issue was whether she consented or was too intoxicated to do so.
NFL…
HOUSTON (AP) — Raiders owner Mark Davis updated his fellow NFL owners yesterday on his desire to bring the team to Las Vegas. Davis also said he hasn’t shut the door on the possibility of staying in Oakland, although he said the Bay Area has done nothing to retain the three-time Super Bowl champs. Nevada lawmakers approved a deal last week that includes an increase in Las Vegas hotel taxes to raise $750 million for a stadium.
In world and national news…
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Republican National Committee was quick to disavow something Donald Trump said — or wouldn’t say — during last night’s presidential debate in Las Vegas. Trump refused to say that he would accept the results of next month’s election if he loses to Hillary Clinton. The Democratic nominee declared Trump’s position was “horrifying.”
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The debate quickly shifted from a calm, policy-focused faceoff into a bitter and deeply personal confrontation. Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman,” while Clinton called Trump “unfit” to be commander in chief. At one point, Clinton cast Trump as a “puppet” of Russian President Vladimir Putin; Trump shot back that Clinton was the “puppet.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will be visiting Miami Dade College in Florida today to encourage people — especially young adults — to sign up for health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act. The enrollment window opens in less than two weeks. Obama finds his signature domestic achievement being buffeted by double-digit premium increases and fewer insurers offering coverage.
STORRS, Conn. (AP) — The University of Connecticut says a false fire alarm resulted in the death of a 19-year-old student who was run over and killed by a vehicle for the campus fire department. The school is reviewing what activated the alarm. A spokeswoman says it wasn’t a malfunction, and that the alarm was triggered automatically, not manually.
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service has launched an investigation after an Atlanta resident says she filmed a worker dumping hundreds of pieces of mail in the woods. Kellie Campbell tells WSB-TV she recorded the postal worker walking near a fence and dumping several bins of mail into a ditch.
