MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — The Red Cross is helping tenants displaced by a large apartment fire in Mandan.
Firefighters from Mandan and Bismarck rotated in and out of service Sunday afternoon because of the sweltering heat. Temperatures approached 90 degrees (32 Celsuis).
Deputy Mandan Police Chief Lori Flaten says the fire destroyed the roof of the 42-unit building. She was unsure about the stability of the rest of the structure.
Red Cross spokeswoman Gretchen Hjelmstad says the agency is meeting with affected families to determine their needs and will provide financial assistance, among other things.
The Bismarck Tribune says Mandan Middle School served as a temporary shelter for the residents.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fargo authorities say one person is dead after a fire in a rental storage unit.
Crews were called to the fire around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and found smoke coming from a unit of the storage complex. Crews contained the fire to the single rental unit. During a search firefighters found a man dead inside the storage unit.
The name of the victim was not released. Both the Fargo fire and police departments are jointly investigating the cause of the fire and the death.
Damage to the storage unit is estimated at about $15,000.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Authorities are trying to find whoever set fire to several trash containers in downtown Fargo.
Firefighters responded to a string of dumpster fires early Sunday.
A total of four dumpster fires broke out between 2:30 a.m. and 3 a.m.
A single crew extinguished all of the fires before any damage was caused to nearby buildings and vehicles.
Fargo police searched for any suspects while the fires were occurring.
MOTT, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a tornado caused some damage in the southwestern North Dakota town of Mott.
KXMB-TV reports the tornado touched down late Friday evening.
Preliminary damage reports to the National Weather Service include downed trees blocking roads in the city, and damage to large building on the city fairgrounds.
The Hettinger County Emergency Manager asked people to stay home and off the streets “due to possible downed power lines and debris.”
No injuries were immediately reported.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Supreme Court has sided with the state in a dispute involving natural gas royalties.
The Bismarck Tribune reports Thursday’s decision stems from a lawsuit Newfield Exploration filed against the state after the Department of Trust Lands conducted an audit in 2016 that claimed the company was underpaying royalties to the agency.
North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness says in a statement that his group, while not involved in the case, was disappointed in the decision. The Supreme Court’s ruling reversed a previous one from a Northwest Judicial District judge.
Land Commissioner Jodi Smith says the agency will now work with the state attorney general’s office to determine how far back Newfield and other affected operators will need to retroactively pay the state.
Bismarck (NDHP) Troopers responded to Highway 83 and I-94 near Sterling to assist multiple semi-trucks hauling wind turbine blades make the turn onto I-94W from Highway 83. Trucks were hauling the turbine blades from Aberdeen, SD to Glen Ullin. Troopers successfully got all trucks heading west bound on I-94 towards the Bismarck-Mandan Area. Minutes later Troopers took another call that 2 of the trucks veered off their permitted route and took a wrong exit onto the Expressway in Mandan. The trucks then took the exit towards Memorial Highway in Mandan. The trucks got stuck at the intersection of the off ramp and Memorial Highway blocking all lanes of traffic on Memorial Highway.
Troopers responded and escorted the trucks thru the City of Mandan onto old Highway 10 and back to the Interstate. Traffic had to be shut down multiple times at each intersection, so they could make the turns with their long turbine blades. Company hauling the blades was Bulldog Highway Express out of Charleston, SC. Both drivers were cited for violating the terms of their permits.

VALLEY CITY (VCSU) – Valley City State University athletic director Jill DeVries announced Friday the hiring of Mark Mattson and Barbi Mattson as the new softball coaching staff at VCSU.
The Mattsons take over the VCSU program after coaching the last seven seasons at Angelina College, an NJCAA Division I school in Lufkin, Texas.

Mark takes over as head coach at VCSU, while Barbi has been named associate head coach. VCSU is the third school where the husband and wife have teamed up to lead the softball program, including a stop at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton, N.D.
“We are extremely excited to have Mark and Barbi take over our softball program,” said DeVries. “Their established level of success, their outgoing personalities, and their passion for softball and collegiate athletics will be great assets to our campus. I am confident they will continue to grow and advance our softball program at the national level.”
Valley City State is coming off just its third ever appearance at the NAIA Softball World Series. The Vikings set a school record with 54 wins and were ranked as high as No. 6 in the nation last season.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Novak Djokovic (NOH’-vak JOH’-kuh-vich) has become the first man in 71 years to win Wimbledon after facing match points in the final, coming back to beat Roger Federer in an unprecedented fifth-set tiebreaker Sunday.
The top-seeded Serb outlasted Federer 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 in a match that lasted nearly five hours to win his fifth championship at the All England Club and second in a row.
The triumph earned Djokovic his 16th Grand Slam trophy, moving him closer to the only men ahead of him in tennis history: Federer with 20, and Rafael Nadal with 18.
Federer, who turns 38 next month, has won Wimbledon eight times dating to 2003, and this was his record 12th appearance in the title match. But Djokovic is now 3-0 against Federer in Wimbledon finals and 4-0 against him in five-setters.
This is the first year Wimbledon has used deciding-set tiebreakers.
MLB..
UNDATED (AP) _ The Indians wasted a 3-0 lead before Carlos Santana’s solo shot in the seventh gave Cleveland a 4-3 victory over Minnesota. Shane Bieber took a three-hit shutout into the seventh before Minnesota rallied with three runs and tied the game. The Indians avoided a three-game sweep and climbed within 6 ½ games of the AL Central-leading Twins.
_ The Nationals absorbed a 4-3 loss at Philadelphia on Maikel Franco’s walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. J.T. Realmuto also went deep for the Phils, who blew a 3-1 lead in the seventh before avoiding a three-game sweep. The Nats fell for just the fifth time in their last 22 games.
_ Max Muncy drew a bases-loaded walk to spark a three-run 12th as the Dodgers outlasted the Red Sox, 7-4 in a game that lasted more than 5 ½ hours. AJ Pollock was 3-for-6 with a three-run homer and four RBIs to help Los Angeles beat Boston for the second straight night following Friday’s 8-1 loss at Fenway Park. The Dodgers led 4-2 until Xander Bogaerts (BOH’-gahrts) and J.D. Martinez hit back-to-back homers in the eighth against Pedro Báez.
The Tampa Bay Rays came within three outs of becoming the first team in major league history to throw a combined perfect game. Just as important for the Rays, they kept pace with the New York Yankees in the American League East.
Ryne Stanek and Ryan Yarbrough retired the first 24 batters in Tampa Bay’s 4-1 victory at Baltimore. Stanek got the first six outs and Yarbrough continued the gem until Hanser Alberto beat the shift with a leadoff single leading off the ninth. The single sparked a rally for the Orioles, who collected a run and three hits in the inning before Emilio Pagan struck out Trey Mancini for his sixth save.
Michael Brosseau and Austin Meadows homered for the Rays, who took three of four in the series and remain six games behind the Yanks.
In the Bronx, Masahiro Tanaka (mah-sah-HEE’-roh tah-NAH’-kah) gave up two runs and four hits over six innings of the Yankees’ 4-2 win against the Blue Jays. Tanaka blanked Toronto until Randal Grichuk (GRIH’-chuhk) and Eric Sogard homered in the fifth.

_ Rookie Matt Thaiss hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning to give the Angels a 6-3 victory and a three-game sweep of the Mariners. Kole Calhoun hit his 21st homer for the Angels and Shohei Ohtani got his 100th major league RBI with a game-tying sacrifice fly for Los Angeles. Angels outfielder Mike Trout left the game before the third inning due to right calf tightness.
_ The Athletics earned a 3-2 win over the White Sox when Chad Pinder scored from first base on a throwing error by shortstop Jose Rondón. Ramón Laureano tied the game with an eighth-inning homer and hit the grounder that Rondon threw away. Mark Canha had two hits and Matt Chapman added an RBI for Oakland, which has won 10 of 12 following its three-game sweep of Chicago.
_ Jeimer Candelario hit a bases-clearing double and Gordon Beckham added a two-run homer while the Tigers exploded for seven runs in the second inning of a 12-8 win at Kansas City. Harold Castro had a pair of hits during the marathon fame, when the Tigers trotted 11 batters to the plate against fill-in starter Brian Flynn. Jorge Soler (soh-LEHR’) homered and had three RBIs for the Royals.
_ The Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Padres by getting a three-run homer by Freddie Freeman in a 4-1 victory.

Cubs starter Jose Quintana allowed three runs on six hits in six innings to win his third straight start.
_ Tyler Beede pitched effectively into the seventh inning, had two hits and drove in the go-ahead run as the Giants took the rubber match of their three-game set with the Brewers, 8-3. Beede’s RBI single sparked a six-run seventh against Milwaukee relievers Corbin Burnes and Matt Albers. Brandon Belt went deep for the Giants, while Christian Yelich (YEH’-lihch) belted his 32nd home run for the Brewers.
_ Paul Goldschmidt homered and Adam Wainwright pitched seven scoreless innings in the Cardinals’ 5-2 victory over the Diamondbacks. Wainwright allowed four hits, walked one and struck out seven. Arizona scored twice in the ninth and had the bases loaded with two outs before Carlos Martinez got Eduardo Escobar to hit a fly ball to center.
_ Ryan McMahon fell a homer shy of the cycle while collecting three RBIs to lead the Rockies past the Reds, 10-9. McMahon hit a two-run double as the Rockies scored four times in the first inning. He had an RBI triple in a six-run fifth that made it 10-5.
_ Robinson Cano (kah-NOH’) homered for the second straight game while going 4-for-5 in the Mets’ 6-2 win at Miami. Jeff McNeil also homered and knocked in a pair of runs to help New York win a road series for the first time since opening April with a three-game sweep of the Marlins.

In world and national news…
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Even though Tropical Depression Barry did not unleash catastrophic flooding in Louisiana, many across the Gulf Coast were urged to take heed of tornado and flash-flood warnings Monday as the storm moved north.
Barry was downgraded from a tropical storm on Sunday afternoon but continued to pose a threat. Much of Louisiana and Mississippi were under flash-flood watches, as were parts of Arkansas, eastern Texas, western Tennessee and southeastern Missouri.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards urged residents to be cautious as they ventured outside after a weekend in which many had sheltered indoors.
He says he was “extremely grateful” that the storm had not caused the disastrous floods that had earlier been forecast.
According to poweroutage.us, about 60,000 customers in Louisiana and 3,300 customers in Mississippi were without power Sunday night.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is shrugging off sharp criticism for tweets branded as racist in which he says four outspoken liberal congresswomen of color should go back to their “broken and crime infested” countries.
All are U.S. citizens and only one is foreign-born.
While Democrats have condemned Trump’s remarks, Republicans have remained largely silent.
In a tweet Sunday night, Trump says it is “so sad” to see Democrats sticking up for the women.
While Trump didn’t name the four, he is almost certainly referring to congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Only Omar, from Somalia, is foreign-born.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in reply, “You are angry that people like us are serving in Congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Federal prosecutors say several more women have contacted them since financier Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest to say he abused them when they were underage.
They cited the contacts in arguing against bail prior to a hearing Monday.
Epstein’s lawyers say he’s no threat to flee and should await trial under house arrest in his $77 million Manhattan mansion.
Prosecutors, calling him a flight risk and danger, say evidence against him is growing “stronger by the day.”
They say they worry Epstein will try to influence witnesses if he is not incarcerated on charges that he recruited and abused dozens of underage girls in New York and Florida in the early 2000s.
Epstein’s lawyers, though, say he’s lived a law-abiding life since pleading guilty to Florida solicitation charges in 2008.
BRUSSELS (AP) — China has called on all parties to remain committed to the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, saying the U.S. should respect the interests of others and abandon its maximum-pressure approach.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Monday that “all parties should keep calm and exercise restraint and stay committed to solving problems through dialogue under the framework of a comprehensive agreement.”
He described U.S. pressure as the root cause of recent developments, and said it’s “better for the one who made the trouble to fix it.”
Iran recently begun surpassing uranium enrichment limits set in the 2015 deal.
Geng says China hopes “the U.S. will abandon its wrong practices, respect the legitimate rights and interests of other parties and not hinder the implementation of the agreement.”
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Demonstrators have returned to an immigration jail in Washington state a day after an armed man threw incendiary devices at the detention center and later died.
Willem Van Spronsen was found dead Saturday after four police officers arrived and opened fire.
KOMO-TV reports demonstrators returned Sunday to the privately run Tacoma Northwest Detention Center.
The facility holds migrants pending deportation proceedings. The detention center has also held immigration-seeking parents separated from their children under President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy, an effort meant to deter illegal immigration.
The demonstrators are protesting the facility and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement roundups that are supposed to begin Sunday.
Van Spronsen’s friend, Deb Bartley, told The Seattle Times she thinks he wanted to provoke a fatal conflict. She describes him as an anarchist.
LACONIA, N.H. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (BOO’-tuh-juhj) represent the generational poles of the crowded Democratic presidential primary.
The 76-year-old Biden is hoping Democratic voters see his decades of experience as the remedy for Trump’s presidency. Buttigieg argues that the moment calls for the energy of a new generation.
The call for generational change, and how Democrats resolve it, could prove to be even more consequential. It’s a fight not just over which candidate gives Democrats the best chance of defeating Trump in 2020, but the direction of the party for years to come.
So far, Biden’s and Buttigieg’s strategies have yielded early success. Biden has led primary polls for much of the year, while Buttigieg tops the most recent fundraising race.
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Police say four children aged 10 to 14 packed fishing rods in a parent’s SUV, left a farewell note then drove more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) down the Australian east coast before they were stopped the next day.
Acting Police Inspector Darren Williams said on Monday the children were stopped by police near Grafton in New South Wales on Sunday, then locked the doors and refused to get out.
He says a police officer used a baton to break a window of the Nissan Patrol, which had been reported stolen.
The children are suspected of failing to pay for gasoline at two gas stations and were briefly chased by police when a 13-year-old is suspected to have been driving.
Williams said they will be charged.
