BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota has agreed to enter settlement negotiations with a group of American Indians who sued the state over its expanded voter identification laws.
The settlement talks are scheduled for May 29 in Bismarck.
The agreement comes a week after U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland criticized the state for raising a “litany of embellished concerns” about people taking advantage of his ruling that expands the proof of identity Native Americans can use for North Dakota elections.
Hovland had suggested the parties negotiate a settlement.
Republican Gov. Doug Burgum last year signed legislation that reworked the ID laws after tribal members sued the state in 2016. Several members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota have continued to challenge the laws, saying they are a form of voter suppression.
WORTHINGTON, Minn. (AP) — A clay pipe linked to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 and considered sacred by Native Americans in Minnesota is being returned to the Sioux people after being sold at auction. The Lower Sioux Indian Community unsuccessfully tried to stop the sale. The pipe was auctioned in Boston on Saturday for $40,000. Prairie Island Tribal Council President Shelley Buck says the buyer wished to return the relic, and that’s being arranged.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Department of Transportation is proposing to remove a historic bridge and is seeking a public or private agency to adopt one or more segments of the structure.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the decision to take down the Long X Bridge is part of the proposed expansion of U.S. Highway 85 in the western oil patch. The bridge, which was built in 1959, would be replaced with a new one that has four lanes.
The department is making segments of the bridge available for adoption during an advertisement period that ends June 14.
Expansion advocates say a larger highway is needed to improve safety due to increased oil traffic. However, others have raised concerns about impacts to the 7-mile (11-kilometer) stretch through the Badlands and the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
WORTHINGTON, Minn. (AP) — A clay pipe linked to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 and considered sacred by Native Americans in Minnesota is being returned to the Sioux people after being sold at auction.
The Lower Sioux Indian Community unsuccessfully tried to stop the sale. Minnesota Public Radio reports the pipe was auctioned in Boston on Saturday for $40,000, nearly twice its estimated value.
Prairie Island Tribal Council President Shelley Buck says the buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, wanted to return the relic, and that’s being arranged.
The U.S.-Dakota War lasted six weeks and left hundreds of Sioux, settlers and soldiers dead. The pipe was a peace offering for a soldier from Sioux Chief White Dog, one of 38 Sioux hanged in Mankato on Dec. 26, 1862, for alleged war crimes.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jake Odorizzi pitched five strong innings and Eduardo Escobar had a two-run home run as the Minnesota Twins won their season-high fifth straight game with a 7-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday afternoon.
The win caps a two-game series sweep for the Twins, who have won 14 of their last 17 games against National League teams.
Odorizzi (3-2) allowed just two hits and one run, a homer by St. Louis’ Jose Martinez in the first inning. The right-hander combined with three relievers to retire the final 18 batters of the game.
Carlos Martinez (3-2) saw his stretch of six straight starts allowing one or fewer runs end. The right-hander allowed four runs in five innings, with two of the runs unearned on a day when St. Louis matched its season worst with three errors.
The Cardinals had just two hits in the loss and six hits combined in the two games against the Twins. St. Louis has now lost two in a row after a season-best five-game winning streak.
Escobar had two of Minnesota’s 10 hits. Robbie Grossman had a two-run double in the fifth inning.
In world and national news..
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan is hailing President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from a nuclear accord with Iran.
The Wisconsin Republican said Tuesday that “from the beginning, the Obama-era Iran deal was deeply flawed.”
Ryan says Iran’s hostile actions since the deal was signed have only reaffirmed that it remains dedicated to sowing instability in the Middle East.
Ryan says that he would have preferred to fix the agreement rather than abandon it and that it was “unfortunate that we could not reach an understanding with our European partners” to do that.
He said Trump is “right to insist that we hold Iran accountable both today and for the long-term,” adding that he hopes the U.S. will continue to work with allies to address actions by Iran to destabilize the Middle East.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is en route to North Korea ahead of Trump’s planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump said Tuesday afternoon that Pompeo will be arriving in the country shortly and has meetings scheduled.
It will be Pompeo’s second known visit to the country. Trump revealed last month that Pompeo also met with Kim over Easter weekend.
Trump says the time and date of his planned meeting with Kim have now been agreed to, but he has yet to reveal where or when it will happen.
Trump broke the news while announcing his plans to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s political action committee is airing ads in West Virginia urging Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin to support his pick to run the CIA.
The ads paid for by America First are running as Republican primary voters decide Tuesday who will face the second-term Democrat in a fall election both parties see as critical to Senate control.
In the ad, CIA director nominee Gina Haspel is described as “a decorated intelligence officer admired by allies around the globe with bipartisan support.”
Haspel is acting director and would be the first woman to be confirmed. She has faced questions about involvement in the intelligence agency’s past program of detaining and brutally interrogating terrorism suspects.
The ad concludes: “Call Sen. Manchin. Tell him to support Gina Haspel for CIA director.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Long Island prosecutors say they are also investigating allegations of abuse by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Four women accused the Democrat of physical violence in a New Yorker article. The women say some of the alleged abuse occurred in the Hamptons in Suffolk County and one says he drove drunk there.
Two of the women went on the record and said Schneiderman hit them without their consent and often after drinking.
Schneiderman says he engaged in “role-playing and other consensual sexual activity,” but didn’t assault anyone. He didn’t address the drunken driving claim.
Neither woman filed police complaints, but both say they sought out medical attention.
New York police Commissioner James O’Neill says they will work with the district attorney’s office on investigating the allegations in New York.
MACOMB TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities believe up to half a dozen bodies of missing girls could be buried in a wooded area northeast of Detroit.
Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer tells WJBK-TV that officers are excavating Tuesday at the site in Macomb Township for the remains of 12-year-old Kimberly King who last was seen in 1979.
Dwyer says “there’s maybe four to six other girls that have been reported missing that are buried there” and that police “certainly are convinced we have the right area.”
King lived in the Detroit suburb of Warren as did 13-year-old Cindy Zarzycki who disappeared in 1986 after being lured to a Dairy Queen. Arthur Ream led police to the area and Zarzycki’s remains in 1986. Zarzycki had been dating Ream’s son at the time of her disappearance.
Ream was convicted in her murder and is serving life in prison.
