BISMARCK (AP) A new book detailing the history of the American buffalo is telling the story of the last great bison hunt and efforts to restore the animal from the brink of extinction.
“Buffalo Heartbeats Across the Plains” was released this month by North Dakota author Francie Berg. It serves as an in-depth companion to her book last year that guided people to historic buffalo sites.
Berg says her new book is for people who want to “dig a little deeper into the buffalo story.”
It centers on 10 sites throughout western North Dakota and South Dakota that were teeming with bison until 19th century hunters drove the animals close to extinction.
The National Bison Association says North America currently has nearly 400,000 bison, up from only a few hundred in the 1800s.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Police say they’ve arrested a man for terrorizing after he armed himself with a machete and attempted to attack another man.
Sgt. Jim Van Lith tells KFGO that officers were called to Lindenwood Park about 9 p.m. Sunday because the 25-year-old suspect had gotten into an argument with the victim over money.
Lith says the suspect went to his car, got a machete and chased the victim who fell to the ground and received minor abrasions. The suspect fled after onlookers stopped him from attacking the victim. Police later located and arrested the suspect.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An addiction treatment center based in Bismarck is expanding after seeing the demand for drug and alcohol abuse treatment services double in the past five years.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Heartview Foundation announced plans this month to add 16 more treatment beds for men and 15 efficiency apartments at the shuttered Ruth Meiers men’s emergency shelter. The organization bought the 12,000-square-foot shelter for $1 million earlier this year.
The facility is expected to open by the end of the year.
North Dakota has seen a steady increase in drug overdose deaths from 20 in 2013 to 77 in 2016. Heartview has tried to keep up with demand over the years, including opening a residential facility in Cando in 2015 and starting a methadone treatment program in Bismarck last year.
ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (AP) — A deputy went into a central Minnesota lake to rescue a woman from her sinking car.
The Douglas County sheriff’s office says it happened Saturday night in a construction zone on Interstate 94 near Lake Latoka, southwest of Alexandria. The sheriff’s office says 76-year-old Beverly Toso, of Hoffman, couldn’t stop in time before she drove off a bridge that’s being replaced. Her car landed in the lake.
Only a few inches of air were left in her car when Deputy Ben Jarvi arrived. He tied a rope to his waist, went into the water, opened the door and pulled her out.
A Fargo, North Dakota, man who called 911 to report the accident, Kenneth Fletcher, held the rope’s other end and pulled them to shore.
Toso’s injuries were not life-threatening.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A group is working to bring new life and more people to downtown Minot by using a bit of dark history.
The Minot Daily News reports that the Little Chicago Pub District is made up of seven bars that combine, fun, drinking and history related to when the city became a hotbed of smuggling and debauchery during Prohibition.
Since forming last year, the Pub District has held a variety of pub crawls with different themes. Each bar involved has something unique to offer, which the district hopes to show people.
The bars work together to help those who go downtown for the bars and food to find a good match for what they want and to also get them to try somewhere they might not have considered.

By the evening, bullet trains and some local trains had resumed operation, with stations swollen with commuters trying to get home, many of them waiting in long lines. An exodus of commuters who chose to walk home filled sidewalks and bridges.
CAIRO (AP) — Libyan forces carried out airstrikes against a militia attacking key oil ports in the east, a spokesman said as Libya’s national oil firm warned on Monday of further damage to oil infrastructure as well as environmental contamination in the north African country.
A militia, led by Ibrahim Jadhran who opposes Libya’s self-styled national army commanded by Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter, attacked the oil ports of Ras Lanuf and al-Sidr on Thursday forcing the National Oil Corporation to suspend exports and evacuate its employees.
The airstrikes late Sunday targeted fighters loyal to Jadhran, who are trying to seize the oil terminals, said Ahmed al-Mesmari, a spokesman for the LNA.
He said warplanes carried out airstrikes against “terrorist positions and gatherings in the operational military zone stretching from Ras Lanuf to the edge of the city of Sirte.”
