WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Authorities say two people sought in relation to a beating in Williston, North Dakota have been arrested in South Dakota.

     Butte County Sheriff Fred Lamphere says Kyle Siler and Jessica Gibson were apprehended near Belle Fourche, South Dakota late Friday night. In an affidavit, Williston police say Siler beat Dean Neiderklopfer in the early hours of Friday in the oil boomtown. Police say Neiderklopfer was expected to be declared brain-dead.

     Siler faces an aggravated assault charge. Gibson was wanted on a hindering law enforcement charge for filming the incident and fleeing with Siler. Police say they are a couple.

     Lamphere says the two are approximately 30 years old. He added that they are being held at the Meade County Jail in Sturgis and are awaiting extradition to North Dakota.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Sens. Heidi Heitkamp and John Hoeven are asking the head of Canadian Pacific Railway to improve agriculture shipping delays before harvest.

     The senators met Monday in Minot with company CEO E. Hunter Harrison and agriculture producers to discuss a backlog in railcars entering the upcoming harvest.

     Hoeven says the meeting was productive and it was important for Harrison to hear first-hand from farmers and ranchers.

     Heitkamp says the railway must commit to decreasing the backlog and wait times. She says the wait times for CP cars increased between June and August and the company has been reluctant to give information about the delays.

     The senators met last week with BNSF Railway executive director Matt Rose.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Officials with the Williston Fire Department say the city needs another fire hall.

     The department now covers an area the size of Bismarck, which is North Dakota’s second-largest city. Bismarck has five fire stations. Williston has one.

     The firefighters have responded to twice as many calls last year as they did in 2013. There have already been 280 reports this year, compared to 115 all of last year.

     The department has 33 firefighters on staff, up from about 20 nearly two decades ago. The city has one full-time fire chief and others work mostly on a volunteer basis.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Organizers of a unique business incubator in Fargo are deciding on applicants who will work together under the same roof for six months.

     The Fargo Startup House will be home to six people who will live rent-free and have access to high-speed Internet, investors, professional services and nationally recognized mentors. The participants will not be charged a fee nor asked to give up stake in their companies.

     The project is being financed by Fargo native Miguel Danielson, an intellectual property attorney who says he wants to contribute to Fargo’s emerging tech community.

     The remodeled house in the city’s Cathedral District includes custom furniture and Internet service that is 100 times faster than typical residential packages and usually reserved for corporations.

     The house is expected to open Sept. 1.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – An animal science professor at North Dakota State University is leading a project that aims to boost beef cattle production on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

Robert Maddock tells The Bismarck Tribune that outdated land management strategies have degraded range conditions on the 3,600-square mile reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border.

The federal Agriculture Department project hopes to improve grazing practices to make the land better suited to cattle production. Maddock says if beef production were to increase, it could pave the way for a meat processing plant on the reservation that’s home to 9,000 people.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The number of anglers fishing in North Dakota continues to increase.

     The state Game and Fish Department says license sales for 2013-14 set a record for a second straight year. More than 219,000 fishing licenses were sold last year, an increase of 1,000 from the previous year. Licenses are good from April 1 of one year to March 31 of the next.

     Game and Fish says record totals of 160,100 resident licenses and 59,300 nonresident licenses were sold last year.

     State Fisheries Chief Greg Power attributes the record sales to an aggressive stocking program and a record number of fishable lakes in North Dakota – about 400 of them.

     Lake Sakakawea, Devils Lake and Lake Oahe/Missouri River remain the top three fisheries in the state.

STURGIS, S.D. (AP) – Police in Sturgis say calls for service and arrests were both up during this year’s motorcycle rally.

There were 1,534 calls for service, an increase of 15 percent from last year. Citations and arrests rose 19 percent, to 568. The number of people jailed rose 8 percent to 118, and the number of charges filed jumped 37 percent, to 194.

Thirty-six accidents were reported, seven with injuries. That was about the same as last year.

In world and national news…

CAIRO (AP) – Negotiators from Israel and Hamas have resumed indirect talks in Cairo aimed at reaching a long-term cease fire in the Gaza Strip. The talks resumed as a new temporary truce took hold. It’s supposed to last 72 hours. A similar truce collapsed Friday when militants resumed rocket fire on Israel.

     WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s a sign of U.S. concern over the gains being made by Islamic militants in northern Iraq. Officials say the administration has started providing weapons directly to Kurdish forces who have started to make gains against the militants. They say the aid has so far been limited to automatic rifles and ammunition.

     FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) – The FBI has started an investigation into the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by police in suburban St. Louis over the weekend. Tensions over the case erupted in unrest last night, following a candlelight vigil for the teen. Authorities have been vague about just what led an officer to open fire.

     HONOLULU (AP) – A container ship crew has rescued three people from a sailboat that was stranded in waters roiled by Hurricane Julio off the Hawaii Coast. The Coast Guard says all three are safe and in good condition. They were sailing the 42-foot vessel from California to Hawaii when they got into trouble over the weekend. They sent a message for help Sunday morning after the boat became disabled and took on water.

     WASHINGTON (AP) – The Associated Press has learned that the Drug Enforcement Administration paid an Amtrak secretary more than $850,000 over nearly 20 years to obtain confidential information about train passengers. The DEA could have lawfully obtained the information for free through a law enforcement network. The secretary was allowed to retire, rather than face administrative discipline, after the discovery that the employee “regularly” sold private passenger information since 1995 without Amtrak’s approval.
