BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A company official says a shipment of crude involved in an explosive train derailment in North Dakota had been treated to reduce its volatility.
Hess Corporation spokesman John Roper said the oil was in compliance with a state law that requires propane, butane and other volatile gases to be stripped out of crude before it can be transported.
The state standard that went into effect last month came in response to a string of fiery train accidents, including a 2013 derailment in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, that killed 47 people.
Despite the treatment of the oil, six cars caught fire in Wednesday’s derailment near Heimdal. The town was evacuated but no one was hurt.
Members of Congress have called for a stricter, national volatility standard for crude moved by rail.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A 25-year-old man has been found guilty in a Jamaican lottery scam that authorities say cost victims around the country millions of dollars.
Jurors in U.S. District Court in Bismarck reached their verdict Thursday morning in the case of Sanjay Williams, of Montego Bay, Jamaica. He was found guilty of conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering and faces up to 40 years in prison.
Authorities say the scam bilked mostly older and vulnerable citizens out of their savings.
Defense attorney Charlie Stock told jurors in his closing argument that the case wasn’t about sympathy, but about evidence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Clare Hochhalter (HOHK’-hawl-tur) said investigators reviewed more than 500,000 documents, including 50,000 emails – many of which linked the scam to Williams.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The superintendent and high school principal in Sawyer says he’s innocent of sex crime allegations.
Fifty-year-old Charles Soper is accused of meeting a 15-year-old boy for sex nearly a dozen times between November and April.
Soper hasn’t yet entered formal pleas to charges of human trafficking, corruption or solicitation of minors and luring minors by computer. But the Minot Daily News reports that he professed his innocence during a court appearance Wednesday.
A judge set bond at $250,000, and Soper’s preliminary hearing was scheduled for June 11. He could face life in prison without parole if convicted.
Sawyer School Board President Cody Roteliuk says Soper has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Emergency Commission has approved increased spending for costs associated with battling grass fires in the Bismarck area last month.
The commission voted unanimously for the increased spending authority, with two members absent. The April grass fires threatened at least one home and came close to the University of Mary campus.
North Dakota Housing Finance Agency executive director Jolene Kline says the request is for a $125,000 loan. Most of it would pay for helicopters called to battle the fires.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple says the state will try to get a 15 percent reimbursement from Burleigh County for its share in fire costs.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Junior goaltender Zane McIntyre has been named most valuable player of the University of North Dakota hockey team that fell just short of a national title.
The Boston Bruins draftee last season won the Mike Richter Award as the best goalie in college hockey and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the top player in the country.
McIntyre led UND to the NCAA Frozen Four in Boston, where the team lost in the semifinals. He had 29 victories during the season, tops in the nation and second-most in UND single-season history.

BETHPAGE, N.Y. (AP) – Blue ribbons are tied to utility poles and trees in a neighborhood of New York’s Long Island. Thousands of officers are expected to say goodbye at a wake for a slain New York City police officer, Brian Moore. Heavily armed officers are patrolling the streets around the funeral home, and officers with sniper rifles are stationed on rooftops of nearby businesses. Moore died Monday after being shot in the head while on duty. Police say he and his partner had stopped a man suspected of carrying a handgun, and the man opened fire.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – University of Rhode Island campus police will start carrying guns beginning Friday, making it the final public university in the nation to arm its officers. The move to arm police came after a false alarm in 2013, when a panic was set off after some students in a lecture hall thought they heard someone say they had a gun. It took about five minutes for armed police from South Kingstown to arrive. No gun was found. While the change has support among students, many faculty members oppose it.
CLEVELAND (AP) – The purchase of 1,500 police body cameras, and data storage for all that video, could cost the city of Cleveland up to $3.3 million over five years. It’s a higher price tag than had been known before, and it’s an illustration of the long-term costs of such a program. The city’s contract with Taser International is among the largest municipal orders for body cameras.
WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s going to be harder for an intruder to get over the White House fence. A proposal being submitted to the National Capitol Planning Commission includes a second layer of steel spikes, a half-inch long, at the top of the fence — so-called “pencil point” spikes that will extend outward. The Secret Service will also start work Friday on changes to vehicle checkpoints at the White House complex.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – New research suggests the measles shot comes with a bonus: By preventing that disease, the vaccine may also help your body fight off other illnesses for years. The study in the journal Science finds that measles vaccination campaigns were followed by a drop in deaths for other infectious diseases. Experts say the work is a wake-up call to parents who don’t vaccinate their children for personal reasons.
