 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man says he will plead guilty on drug and weapons charges.
 
     Brian Dahl, of Minot, is charged in federal court with conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine and brandishing a firearm during a drug deal.
 
     Authorities say the conspiracy involved moving meth and firearms from Washington state to North Dakota.

     North Dakota Coalition for Homeless People executive director Michael Carbone says educating the soaring number of homeless people flocking to oil-rich North Dakota is a colossal challenge for so-called navigators. The navigators are charged with finding uninsured residents and inform them of their options under the new law.
 
     Carbone says homeless people in North Dakota may be overlooked despite well-intentioned outreach efforts funded by the federal government.
 
     North Dakota is among 36 states where the federal government will run the marketplace under the new law.

     Lance, a red roan yearling, fetched $2,800, the top price of the day. Auctioneer Clyde Meidinger says it’s the highest priced horse he’s sold in years.
 
     Most horses sold for about $450 each. Proceeds after commission go back to the park for the horse program.
 
     Many of the horses were purchased in an orchestrated effort among groups and individuals to keep them out of kill barns. Nearly three dozen will be transported to Legacy Mustang conservancy in Virginia, where they will be trained and some will be adopted.
