GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) – The Walsh County Sheriff’s Office says a 19-year-old man reported being attacked by a pack of about eight dogs as he was walking east of a farm.
 
     The sheriff’s office says the man on Sunday morning was knocked down and severely bitten all over his body by a large Rotweiler, a pit bull and several other dogs. The dogs eventually let him go and he was able to get to a nearby farmstead for help. He was hospitalized overnight.
 
     Deputies executed a search warrant at the farm Monday. The sheriff’s office says after a local veterinarian euthanized four of the dogs, the 59-year-old owner slit one of his dogs’ throats and refused to give up the others. He was arrested on a charge of physical obstruction of a government function.

   FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Police in Fargo says a 46-year-old woman is facing charges in a stabbing incident.
 
     Lt. Joel Vettel says officers responded about 9:30 p.m. Monday to a report of two women who were walking covered in blood.
 
     Officers found the women and determined that one of them had suffered stab wounds to her torso and slash wounds to her arms. She was treated for injuries at a local hospital.
 
     The other woman was taken into custody on charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest. Formal charges were pending.
 
     Vettel said both women were extremely intoxicated and it was difficult for officers to determine what had led to the stabbing.

 WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Cass County hasn’t maintained the oversight mandated by the state to ensure carnival rides at the Red River Valley Fair have been properly inspected.
 
     But fair and county officials say there’s no reason to think any of the rides at this year’s fair are unsafe, because the company running them inspects every ride before opening each day.
 
     State law requires ride operators to file with the county an affidavit that each ride has adequate insurance and has been inspected by the insurance underwriter.  Murphy Brothers Exposition spokeswoman Cathy Murphy says  the inspection papers are available but no one has ever asked for them.
 
     Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz says the question of oversight won’t disrupt this year’s fair but will need to be addressed after it concludes.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck-based North Dakota Army National Guard unit has been told it may mobilize in early 2014.
 
     If the nearly 40 soldiers of Company C, 2nd Battalion, 285th Aviation Regiment head overseas, they’d serve in support of the NATO-led international peacekeeping mission in Kosovo for up to one year.
 
     The unit previously deployed in 2009 to Iraq, where the unit’s aviators flew more than 750 combat missions. They were responsible for transporting senior officials, soldiers, medical supplies and other cargo.
 
     North Dakota adjutant general Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk (sprihn-suh-NAT’-ihk) says the aviators offer a level of professionalism and expertise.
 
     About 70 members of the North Dakota National Guard currently are deployed overseas. Another 200 soldiers from a Grand Forks-based regiment are active protecting airspace around Washington, D.C.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating three workplace deaths in western North Dakota.
 
     Mountrail County Sheriff Ken Halvorson says two men were killed Monday when they fell 250 feet from a cellphone tower.
 
     Halvorson says 42-year-old Namon Smith of Chattanooga, Tenn., and 25-year-old Zachary Roberts of Lakeland, Ga., were adding structural supports to the 300 foot tower when one man fell and struck the other man, causing him to fall.
 
     Halvorson says both workers were wearing safety harnesses and hard hats.
 
     In a separate incident, Watford City police reported a death allegedly related to workplace chemicals at Power Fuels.
 
     Power Fuels attorney Alicia Brenna says the worker died in his home and that the investigation is ongoing.
 
     Authorities have not released the man’s name.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo City Commissioners have decided to study a possible expansion to the Fargodome.
 
Commissioners on Monday unanimously approved spending up to $95,000 for the study that already has been approved by the Fargo Dome Authority.
 
     Dome General Manager Rob Sobolik says a Chicago consulting company will do the study, and should have it finished by the end of October.
 
     Sobolik has said it would cost about $35 million to expand the indoor football stadium and convention facility in North Dakota’s largest city.

　In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is calling Egypt’s new elections plan “a positive sign.” Egypt’s interim president announced Monday that a referendum on a new constitution will be held in four months, with elections for a new parliament two months later. President Barack Obama’s spokesman says the White House is “cautiously encouraged” by the plan for Egypt to return to democratically elected government. Jay Carney called for all parties to be included in the electoral process.
 
     FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) – At Army Pfc. Bradley Manning’s court-martial today, a former Guantanamo Bay prosecutor is dismissing the importance of secret detainee assessments the solder gave to WikiLeaks.  Retired Air Force Col. Morris Davis testified that the still-classified documents contain little that was not already public and do not threaten national security.

 
     FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) – With jury selection about to begin, the Army psychiatrist going on trial in the deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting says he wants to tell potential jurors that he’s being forced to wear a military uniform he believes represents “an enemy of Islam.” Maj. Nidal Hasan raised the issue at hearing this morning. Hasan is expected to wear the loose-fitting camouflage uniform worn by troops in combat at his court martial because of his health-related issues as a paraplegic. Hasan was paralyzed after being shot by police the day of the rampage.
 
     SANFORD, Fla. (AP) – A gunshot wound expert hired by the defense has testified that the forensic evidence backs George Zimmerman’s account that Trayvon Martin was on top of him when he fatally shot the teen. However, under cross-examination, Dr. Vincent DiMaio conceded that the wound could also be consistent with Martin pulling away from Zimmerman. Some of Zimmerman’s neighbors have said the neighborhood watch volunteer was on top of Martin, but the pathologist said he did not factor those statements into his conclusions.
 
     NEW YORK (AP) – Nine reputed members of the Bonanno crime family have been charged with what prosecutors are calling old-school mob activity: gambling, loan sharking, extortion and drugs. A 158-paid indictment was unsealed in New York Monday. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. says the two-year investigation “demonstrates that organized crime is still operating in New York City and has its hooks into the labor movement.” Two of those charged are members of a local Teamsters union.
