ARTHUR, N.D. (AP) – Residents who noticed a house burning in
Arthur rescued a 20-year-old man from the home before it was
heavily damaged in a fire.
     Arthur Volunteer Fire Department Chief Casey Zieske says  the witnesses went into the house Thursday afternoon before authorities arrived and rescued the man, who was asleep on the couch. He was not injured.
     The man is the son of the house’s owner, who was not home at the
time.
     Zieske says the house is “pretty much gone” and was heavily
damaged. The detached garage was untouched.
     The cause of the fire is unknown, but it appears to have started
in the basement.

southwestern North Dakota town devastated by a wildfire has
surpassed $100,000.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials are urging anyone
who spots a wild pig to report it immediately, after sightings in
neighboring states.
     State Veterinarian Susan Keller says wild pigs – also known as
feral swine – can carry diseases that can threaten domestic pigs
and other livestock. Jeb Williams with the state Game and Fish
Department says wild pigs also compete with native wildlife for
food and destroy habitat.
     One recent sighting was near Britton in northeastern South
Dakota in late October. Kyle Siebels and Cody Packard were helping
a farmer harvest corn when a wild pig ran out of the corn. They
killed it with four bullets from a deer rifle. Siebels tells the
American News that the tusked boar was about 6 feet long and 3 feet
tall.

 

In world and national news…

 NEW YORK (AP) – The first day of the traditional holiday
shopping season has apparently had a positive effect on the stock
market. Although trading was thin on an abbreviated session on Wall
Street — about 1.4 billion shares — the Dow shot up 172 points Friday to
13,009. That’s the first close above 13,000 for the Dow since
Election Day.
     
     UNDATED (AP) – Not everyone has been taking advantage of the
earlier-than-usual store openings on Black Friday. Joe Russell was
hunting for a great deal on a large screen TV and went to Best Buy
store in Watertown, Mass., shortly after midnight. But he thought
twice about it after seeing the long line of shoppers gunning for
doorbuster promotions in freezing temperatures. Russell, who says
this is earliest he’s ever shopped, returned to the store after
sunrise and got a different TV for “a decent price.”
     
     CAIRO (AP) – At least 100 people have been injured in violent
protests across cities in Egypt. Thousands of opponents of
President Mohammed Morsi clashed with his supporters Friday, burning
several offices of the Muslim Brotherhood. These are the most
violent and widespread protests since Morsi came to power. Morsi
recently granted himself sweeping powers — powers that his critics
frame as dictatorial.
     
     ST. LOUIS (AP) – Barge traffic on the Mississippi River is in
danger of coming to a halt within weeks. That’s because the Army
Corps of Engineers has begun reducing the flow from a Missouri
River reservoir. A corps spokeswoman says the reduced flow is
necessary because of one of the worst droughts in in decades. Barge
operators and those who ship on the Mississippi are warning of
economic catastrophe if barge traffic is stopped.
     
     DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The doubling of Powerball ticket prices
is leading to bigger jackpots. The jackpot for Saturday’s drawing
stands at $325 million — the fourth-largest sum in the game’s
history. According to a Powerball official, the number of tickets
sold has decreased since the price went to $2 in January, but sales
revenue has increased by about 35 percent.
