DRAYTON, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a motorcycle driver who led North Dakota troopers on a four-county chase on Interstate 29 was arrested when he ran out of gas in Drayton.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol says the 21-year-old suspect fled when a trooper attempted to stop him early Sunday morning for speeding through Fargo. Troopers attempted two other traffic stops, near Hillsboro and Thompson.
The patrol says the driver reached a top speed of 147 mph. He was arrested about 1:30 a.m. and booked into the Walsh County Jail.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — An appeals court has rejected a former Minot city attorney’s claim that she was fired in 2014 in retaliation for a whistleblower complaint over sexual harassment.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland in February 2017 dismissed Colleen Auer’s complaint for lack of evidence, and she appealed to 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Minot Daily News reports that court has upheld Hovland’s ruling.
Auer was employed by the city from March 31, 2014, until her firing on May 2, 2015. Auer alleged she was fired for reporting sex-based harassment.
The appeals court concluded Auer’s allegations were “unreasonable.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota is ninth on the list of top soybean-producing states, but the escalating U.S.-China trade war is still a big issue.
Soybeans have grown in popularity in North Dakota in recent years and now equal the size of the state’s staple spring wheat crop. And North Dakota Trade Office Director Simon Wilson says China is the No. 1 export market for North Dakota soybeans.
Soybean Growers Association President Joe Ericson says farmers are “in the crosshairs right now” due the uncertainty of tariff-related market disruptions.
Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring farms soybeans and has a background in international soybean marketing. He acknowledges there’s a lot of anxiety about the trade war but cautions that things are likely to change. He says, “we don’t need to be drama queens about this.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Transportation Department officials are delaying a roundabout project planned in north Bismarck because of safety issues.
Burleigh County Engineer Marcus Hall tells The Bismarck Tribune that a Transportation Department engineer sent an email on July 13 expressing opposition to current plans for the $2.5 million project. The concerns came about a week before the final design was due.
The county and the Transportation Department have been working on the project design since February. Hall says the proposed roundabout has right-run slip lanes, which provide an additional point of contact.
Halls says engineers believe safety issues arise with the addition of more contact points.
Hall says there’s not enough time for a redesign before the final plans are due July 23.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck police veteran has been hired as the department’s new chief.

The 53-year-old Draovitch was one of three finalists to fill the position left by Chief Dan Donlin, who is retiring,
Draovitch is a Minot native. He has been with the Bismarck Police Department since 1989 and has been a deputy chief since 2013.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A company that runs corn ethanol plants in North Dakota is looking into using barley for biofuel and a feed product for commercial fisheries.
The Bismarck Tribune reports the North Dakota Industrial Commission approved a more than $83,000 grant to Midwest AgEnergy Group to research the new markets. CEO Jeff Zueger says commercial fish food is a higher value market than cattle feed, and that the company is always looking for best and additional uses at its Jamestown and Underwood plants.
Zueger says the concept for the barley biofuel was developed and pilot tested by Montana Microbial Products in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Midwest AgEnergy’s project would study the feasibility and conduct initial engineering and design work for scaling production to a commercial level.

MLB-NEWS
UNDATED (AP) — Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard (SIHN’-dur-gahrd) is headed back to the disabled list after contracting hand-foot-and-mouth disease.
The team figures it’s likely Syndergaard caught the contagious virus when he made an appearance at a baseball camp for kids last Thursday during the All-Star break. Mets manager Mickey Callaway said that probably explains why Syndergaard weakened and his velocity decreased during Friday night’s victory at Yankee Stadium.
Syndergaard just returned from the disabled list July 13 after being sidelined for more than six weeks with a strained ligament in his right index finger. He is 6-1 with a 2.89 ERA in 13 starts this year.
— Nationals All-Star closer Sean Doolittle doesn’t have a timetable for his return as he tries to overcome soreness in his left foot. Doolittle hasn’t pitched in a game since July 6 due to toe inflammation. He threw off a mound Friday and had an MRI the following day that revealed a stress reaction, comparable to a bone bruise. Doolittle is 3-2 with a 1.45 ERA and has converted 22 of 23 save chances.
— The Nats shipped outfielder Brian Goodwin to the Royals for minor league pitcher Jacob Condra-Bogan. Goodwin is batting .200 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 48 games for the Nationals this season.
