Update…

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — A crash in Richland County involving a car and a dump truck killed a 22-year-old Wahpeton man.

The Highway Patrol says Austin Vosberg was driving a car that collided with the dump truck when the truck turned in front of him on a rural road just north of Wahpeton.

Vosberg died at the scene about 6:45 a.m. Thursday. The dump truck driver suffered undisclosed injuries. Charges were pending against him.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A defendant accused of fatally stabbing a man and injuring his nephew on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation has been found guilty following a jury trial.

Thirty-six-year-old Dallas Thundershield was convicted of second-degree murder and three other counts following a six-day trial in federal court in Fargo this week.

Prosecutors say the victims, Elvis Demarce and his uncle Richard Demarce Sr., offered Thundershield and his girlfriend a ride while they were walking in Fort Totten April 9. As they were driving around an argument began and Elvis got out of the pickup. Thundershield stabbed him several times before turning to beat his uncle. Thundershield and his girlfriend drove away, then returned within minutes. Prosecutors say Thundershield stabbed Richard in the chest, killing him.

Thundershield was also convicted of attacking his girlfriend hours later at a residence in Hamar.

 

 

MAKOTI, N.D. (AP) — A Makoti man who became known as the “Flying Farmer” for his car stunts is preparing to fly again.

John Smith was a premier stunt performer in North Dakota during the 1990s and early 2000s. He also set a couple of Guinness world records for driving in reverse.

Smith hasn’t jumped a car since March 2003, but he’s planning to jump over a burning mobile home Sunday afternoon in Makoti.

Smith’s last jump consisted of launching at over 80 mph from an eight foot wide, 30 foot long ramp set at 11 degrees. He flew 92 feet in the air before crashing through a stack of eight automobiles.

Smith says he’ll be a lot more nervous for Sunday’s jump than he used to be, but that he is certain attendees will be entertained.

 

In world and national news..

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI’s look at Hillary Clinton’s emails might not be over yet. The agency has told Congress that it’s looking at some new emails that have emerged in its probe of Clinton’s private server. Agents want to find out whether there’s classified information in them. The letter from FBI Director James Comey doesn’t make clear just where the new emails came from, or who sent or received them. WikiLeaks has published tens of thousands of confidential emails from Clinton campaign insiders that U.S. intelligence officials have said were hacked in a series of cyberattacks they blamed on the Russian government.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Donald Trump says the political system, in his words, “might not be as rigged as I thought.” He’s reacting to the news that the FBI has decided to investigate new emails found in the probe of Hillary Clinton’s private server. At a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump praised the FBI, saying “I think they are going to right the ship.” It’s a new tune for Trump, who has repeatedly complained that the Washington establishment has rigged the political system against him.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will spend most of next week, the final week of the presidential campaign, rallying voters in battleground states for Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s campaign says Obama will return to Ohio on Tuesday and to North Carolina on Wednesday. On Thursday, he heads back to Florida to headline a pair of Clinton rallies. The race is close in all three states. Obama will urge voters to take advantage of the opportunity they have to cast their ballots before the Nov. 8 election.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With the election around the corner, economists don’t think the Federal Reserve is likely to boost interest rates at next week’s meeting. But they think there’s a green light for a rate hike at the November session. This, after a better-than-expected report on economic growth in the third quarter. One analyst says the economy may have hit its peak for the year with the 2.9 percent third-quarter growth — and that it may slow to around two percent in the current quarter.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — One of the jurors who acquitted Ammon and Ryan Bundy has emailed an Oregon newspaper to say prosecutors failed to prove the fundamental elements of a conspiracy charge. In his message to The Oregonian, the juror said the panel spoke with the judge after the verdict and asked why the government chose the conspiracy charge in prosecuting those who spent weeks occupying a bird sanctuary in Oregon. The juror said he learned a possible alternate charge, criminal trespass, wouldn’t have brought as serious a penalty. The juror added that those who are shocked by the acquittals seem not to realize that “not guilty” isn’t the same as “innocent.”
