DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man accused of killing the
mother of a child he believed was his daughter has pleaded guilty
to murder.
Forty-two-year-old Dirk Huber told a judge on Monday that he and
39-year-old Nicole Radebaugh were having an argument in Belfield in
August 2011 when “I just snapped.” He faces up to life in prison,
though prosecutors are recommending a 30-year-sentence in exchange
for the guilty plea.
Authorities say Huber suffocated Radebaugh with a pillow in her
apartment bedroom after the argument about the paternity of her
daughter. Huber evaded police for several days before being
arrested in a remote area north of Medora.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Supreme Court has
reprimanded a Grand Forks attorney for representing a defendant
accused of aggravated assault and terrorizing – and the person who
was allegedly attacked.
The high court says Blake Hankey had a conflict of interest,
because he represented someone accused of crimes and the person’s
alleged victim.
The court says it wasn’t possible for Hankey to act in the best
interests of both people at the same time.
Court records say Hankey also lied to a Grand Forks County
prosecutor when she confronted him about the arrangement. Hankey
told her he’d cleared the matter with his law partners, when he
didn’t.
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered a reprimand for Hankey, and
said he has a month to pay almost $7,200 in disciplinary costs.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A southbound stretch of Interstate 29 in
southeastern North Dakota was closed for more than two hours Monday
after a camper being pulled on the highway caught fire.
Authorities say the driver of a pickup pulling the camper was
initially not aware that the camper had ignited and was spreading
burning debris that caused a grass fire in the highway ditches.
Southbound traffic on the interstate was diverted to a county road
because of heavy smoke that reduced visibility.
The pickup was driven by 28-year-old Houston M. Hook of
Lumberton, Miss. The camper was a total loss.
Authorities say a vehicle driven by 69-year-old William Hrdlicka
of Hankinson, N.D, struck a Richland County Sheriff’s Office patrol
car parked on the highway. No one was hurt in the crash.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck woman is facing charges for
allegedly allowing her 15-year-old daughter to drink to the point
of unconsciousness.
33-year-old Janelle Mae Guy has been charged with felony child
abuse or neglect and a misdemeanor count of contributing to the
delinquency of minors.
According to an affidavit filed by Bismarck police, officers
were called to an apartment early Sunday and found six people
younger than 21 hiding in a bedroom. Guy’s daughter was taken to a
hospital for treatment after she also was found in a bedroom so
intoxicated that she was not responsive.
A judge set Guy’s bond at $2,500, prohibited her from using
alcohol and prohibited her from having contact with her daughter
without approval.

Dakota’s commercial airports are up nearly 20 percent from last
year.

service airports in the state are continuing on a record-breaking
pace.
Taborsky says Bismarck boarded 19,525 passengers last month for
its best September ever.
He says Minot also had its best September with a record 19,021
passenger boardings.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it will
study two proposed changes to the Red River diversion project
around Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn.
These modifications include the construction of adjustable gates
on the inlet channel and upgrading levees and floodwalls to
increase the river flows through the metropolitan area.
The changes will also be reviewed by the Minnesota Department of
National Resources.
The 36-mile diversion would move water from the north-flowing
Red River around Fargo and Moorhead, which battled major flooding
for three straight years.
The White House has signed off on the $2 billion project, but it
still needs approval from Congress.
Opponents of the project, which would take at least 10 years to
build, have threatened legal action.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s U.S. Senate candidates say
they’ve raised more than $9 million for their campaigns. It’s
already the most expensive in state history.
Republican Rick Berg’s campaign disclosure report Monday says
he’s raised $5.6 million for his race. Democrat Heidi Heitkamp has
raised $3.7 million.
Berg and Heitkamp have raised about $1.6 million each in the
last three months.
Until now, North Dakota’s most expensive Senate race cost $4.2
million.
Both Senate campaigns filed new Federal Election Commission
disclosure reports Monday.
Republican U.S. House candidate Kevin Cramer reported his
fundraising has topped $1 million. His report says Cramer raised
$476,000 in the last three months.
Democrat Pam Gulleson’s fundraising information for the last
three months wasn’t immediately available. She has previously
reported raising $630,000 through June.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Senate Democratic candidate
Heidi Heitkamp says GOP rival Rick Berg hasn’t been able to budge
fellow Republicans to support a new farm bill.
Berg and Heitkamp debated agriculture, Medicare and energy
Monday. The debate was recorded for later broadcast on Prairie
Public’s television and radio networks.
The current federal farm bill expired last month, and Congress
hasn’t been able to agree on a new one. Heitkamp says Berg has
promised to break the deadlock, but she says Berg hasn’t gotten it
done.
Berg says he’s got assurances from House Republican leaders
there will be a vote on the farm bill before year’s end.
He says he’s done what he can to push the issue, and he says
it’s not unusual for long-term farm legislation to get delayed.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s soybean harvest is nearly
complete. The weekly update from the Agriculture Department also
says the corn harvest is 84 percent finished.
Sixty-eight percent of the sugar beets are harvested and about 61 percent of the sunflower crop is in.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – An annual fall survey shows few young fish
in the Missouri River system in North Dakota.
Scott Gangl (GANG’-guhl) with the state Game and Fish Department
says the survey catch at Lake Sakakawea was poor for most species
including walleye, especially considering 4 million were stocked
this year.
Gangl says the reservoir wasn’t very productive this year
because of a rapid drop in elevation. He also says the Missouri
River from Garrison Dam to Lake Oahe (oh-AW’-hee) showed few young
game fish.
On the bright side, Game and Fish says Devils Lake once again
had “exceptional” numbers of young walleye. Gangl says Devils
Lake continues to be “a walleye factory.”
