Jamestown (CSi) White Cloud the albino buffalo that once roamed the pasture at the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown returned home on Tuesday.
Plans were made by the National Buffalo Museum’s board to have her preserved and displayed at the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown’s large exhibition room.
On Tuesday morning White Cloud arrived by carrier, and she was escorted by a caravan of cars to the National Buffalo Museum.
The Museum’s Director Ilana Xinos says, the display will give museum visitors a more historical, cultural and scientific significance of albino bison.
White Cloud will be displayed in a humidity controlled enclosure at the museum.
The unveiling in the near future will be announced.
White Cloud’s taxidermy by Monte Hoggarth, of Jamestown came after a large donation of $30,000 by Dave and JoAnn Vining. Dave points out that many contributed toward the $50,000 goal to help preserve White Cloud.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man serving life in prison for the killing of two federal marshals outside Medina in 1983 won’t get a trial on a defamation lawsuit he filed against a news agency.
Yorie Kahl alleged the Bureau of National Affairs inaccurately reported about his appeal of his sentence in 2005. BNA asked a federal judge to dismiss the case, but the judge denied the request and said Kahl deserved a trial on his claim.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia sided with BNA and reversed the judge’s order Tuesday.
Kahl and Scott Faul were convicted of murder in the February 1983 deaths of U.S. Marshal Kenneth Muir and Deputy Marshal Robert Cheshire. The marshals were trying to arrest Kahl’s father, Gordon, a noted tax protester.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say no one was injured in a shooting at a Williston apartment complex.

Officers detained three males for questioning. The investigation is continuing.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Trump administration proposes giving North Dakota the power to regulate underground wells used for long-term storage of waste carbon dioxide captured from industrial sources such as coal-fired power plants.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt signed off on the proposal Tuesday. A final decision will come after a 60-day public comment period.
North Dakota would be the first state to get such authority. The state’s rules for CO2 wells would need to be as stringent as federal standards approved in 2010, and the EPA would oversee the state program.
Pruitt says handing regulation over to the state would help advance carbon capture and sequestration technology.
Sierra Club spokesman Wayde Schafer questions whether the money-strapped state would have enough funds to effectively manage the regulatory program.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A longtime federal prosecutor in the city of Bismarck has applied for the position of U.S. Attorney for the District of North Dakota.
The Bismarck Tribune reports 60-year-old Clare Hochhalter has served at the office since 1988, and has served as criminal chief since 2004.
Hochhalter says he’d like to continue emphasizing national security and the prosecution of violent crimes, corruption and white-collar crime.
Hochhalter recently led the prosecution of a Jamaican lottery scam case. Fourteen people have been charged with bilking 90 mostly elderly U.S. residents out of $5.7 million.
U.S. Attorney Chris Myers took himself out of consideration for the position last week.
Hochhalter officially applied for the job Monday. Former Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley also is seeking the job.

ALEXANDER, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Oil and Gas Division says most of a contained release has been recovered at a saltwater disposal well in McKenzie County.
McKenzie Energy Partners reported 6,300 gallons of oil and 6,300 gallons of saltwater were released and contained within site diking about 13 miles northeast of Alexander. All but 84 gallons of saltwater was recovered.

A new report that compiles crime statistics for the city shows 309 vehicles were stolen in Bismarck last year, compared with 154 in 2015.

The report shows calls for service increased 7.5 percent from 2015, rising above 40,000 for the first time.
Crime against persons, which include murders, assaults and rapes, dropped from 1,206 in 2015 to 1,198 last year.

Dickinson (DSU) Dickinson State University has announced its decision to discontinue baseball and golf effective in the 2018-19 academic year. The sports will remain active during the 2017-18 seasons and will be discontinued in the fall of 2018.
The decision was made as part of larger university reductions. DSU must implement reductions of $4.9 million in the upcoming biennium which begins in July 2017. Cutbacks are being made across the campus community, with just under $400,000 coming from athletics.
“The mission of the institution is to ensure we give students the best possible education,” said DSU President, Dr. Thomas Mitzel. “We recognize that education spans across academics, athletics and programs – all of which were considered in the budget planning process.”
“It is important to balance the budget and the needs of our students. DSU must be a good steward of the trust placed in us by the city and the state,” said Mitzel. “In order to be financially sound we had to reduce programming and become more efficient in how we educate our students while maintaining the excellence in education found at DSU.”
DSU will allow student athletes in the affected programs to contact other schools and will grant their release if they decide to transfer. There is an opportunity for the sports to continue if they are able to raise their own external funding.

NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION PLAYOFFS
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs have grabbed a three-games-to-two lead in the NBA’s Western Conference semifinals, but they finished Tuesday’s game without another starter due to injury.
Danny Green scored seven of his 16 points in overtime to lead the Spurs past the Rockets, 110-107. Green nailed a go-ahead 3-pointer and converted a three-point play to make it 109-107 with 30.1 seconds left before hitting a free throw.
The Spurs won it despite playing the extra period without Kawhi (kah-WY’) Leonard, who hurt his right ankle midway through the third quarter. Leonard played sparingly after the injury and sat out the entire overtime. He had 22 points and 15 rebounds in 38 minutes before exiting for good.
NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYOFFS
NEW YORK (AP) — The Ottawa Senators have advanced to the NHL’s Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 10 years.
Craig Anderson made 14 of his 37 saves in the third period to help the Senators close out their second-round series in six games, a 4-2 win over the Rangers in New York. Mark Stone scored the game-winner and had an assist for Ottawa, which hasn’t advanced this far since losing the 2007 Stanley Cup finals to Anaheim. Erik Karlsson also had a goal and an assist.
Anderson blanked the Rangers after Chris Kreider beat him 53 seconds into the third period. Jena-Gabriel Pageau (pa-ZHOH’) added an empty-netter, his sixth goal of the series.
Ottawa will take on either Washington or Pittsburgh in the conference finals. The Capitals host the Penguins in Game 7 of their series on Wednesday.
TWINS-SANO SUSPENDED
CHICAGO (AP) — Major League Baseball has upheld a one-game suspension of Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano for his role in a scrap with Detroit last month.
MLB announced Sano sat out Tuesday in Chicago with the Twins playing the White Sox. The punishment was levied two weeks ago but tabled pending Sano’s appeal. He was also fined.
MLB criticized Sano for “aggressive actions” that caused the benches to clear during the April 22 game against the Tigers. After Detroit’s JaCoby Jones was hit in the face by a pitch from Twins reliever Justin Haley, Tigers starter Matt Boyd threw behind Sano.
Sano pointed his bat and yelled at Boyd. After Tigers catcher James McCann intervened by putting his mitt in Sano’s face, Sano punched McCann in the mask.
Boyd was fined.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says fired FBI Director James Comey “will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI.” In an early-morning tweet Wednesday, Trump attacked Democrats critical of his firing of Comey.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s stunning firing of FBI Director James Comey throws into question the future of an investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible connections to Russia and immediately raises suspicions of an underhanded effort to stymie a probe that has shadowed the administration from the outset. Democrats likened Tuesday’s ouster to President Richard Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre” and renewed calls for a special prosecutor. Some Republicans also questioned the move.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser is at odds with a former Turkish client over two payments totaling $80,000 that Flynn’s firm sent back to its client. The disagreement highlights inconsistencies in Michael Flynn’s accounts to federal authorities about foreign relationships that have made him the focus of congressional, military and intelligence inquiries.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s new president is taking a softer stance toward rival North Korea, saying he’s willing to visit the North _ under the right conditions _ to discuss its nuclear and missile programs. That could create friction with the United States as President Donald Trump attempts to harden international pressure on North Korea. President Moon Jae-in, elected Tuesday, is South Korea’s first liberal leader in a decade.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Associated Press has conducted an in-depth review of its operations in Nazi Germany, concluding the news agency acted as “forthrightly and independently as possible.” But the review also found AP handled some situations inadequately. The review was undertaken after an article last year contended that the AP allowed Nazi propagandists to exert some influence over its news photo report in the 1930s by maintaining a photo subsidiary in Germany, registered under a restrictive Nazi press law.
