Jamestown (CSi) An electrical outage occurred in Southeast Jamestown on Wednesday afternoon for about an hour, between about 12:07 p.m., and 1:07.
Jeff Hoff with the Jamestown Otter Tail Power office said, a tree branch came in contact with a power line in Southeast Jamestown. He was unsure of the exact location as crews were still out in Jamestown taking care of damages caused by the high wind yesterday, last night and today.
He pointed out that it took awhile for the crews to locate exactly where the tree branch came in contact with the line.
He estimated that about 1,000 customers were affected by the outage, Wednesday afternoon.
Otter Tail crews from Oakes, Sykeston and South Dakota locations were in Jamestown assisting the local crews in the cleanup and fixing downed power lines and utility poles that were downed by the high wind.

Jamestown (CSi) A resident of the Dewey Apartments in Northeast Jamestown was trapped in the elevator for about 10 minutes during the power outage Tuesday evening in Jamestown.
The Jamestown City Fire Department was responded as the woman called for help from her cell phone.
City Fire Chief Jim Reuther said the elevator car had stopped between the first and second floors, as the fire department personnel open the elevator door from the outside and the interior safety door, as she was able to leave the elevator on her own.
Chief Reuther says, starting shortly after 10-p.m., when the outage occurred the city fire deparment was on standby for about an hour, assisting Otter Tail Power Company with calls of power lines and power poles downed by the high wind.
A large old tree on the boulevard of 7th Street Southwest in the 200 block was blown over and completely blocking the street, he said. It fell on to two parked vehicles.
– Road construction signs were blown all over the place but did not appear to have collided with vehicles, he said. There are garbage cans all over the streets as well.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says North Dakota’s crime rate per capita last year rose 4.4 percent from 2013.
Stenehjem released the data Wednesday at the state Capitol in Bismarck.
Stenehjem says one area of concern is the upward trend in illegal drugs in North Dakota. He says arrests for drug offenses increased almost 18 percent last year, to 4,000.
Stenehjem says aggravated assaults were down 1 percent last year. He says it was the first time in at least 15 years aggravated assaults were down.
There were 6,705 drunken driving arrests last year, down from 7,117 in 2013.
There were 19 murders in North Dakota last year, up from 14 in 2013.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem joined counterparts and other officials in 30 other states in asking the Environmental Protection Agency to delay the implementation of a new federal water rule.
Stenehjem on Wednesday said he signed a letter that was sent to the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In June, several states led by North Dakota filed a federal lawsuit over the same rule change.
Federal officials say the “Waters of the U.S.” rule clarifies which waterways are protected under the Clean Water Act. The rule is set to go into effect Aug. 28.
At least 27 states, national agriculture and land organizations, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have filed complaints in federal districts courts around the country since the rule was published in June.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has identified an Arkansas man who died on the job in North Dakota.
OSHA says 23-year-old Alex Lee, of Conway, Arkansas, was operating a construction packer for a street project in Dickinson on July 15 when the packer slid down an embankment and rolled on him, crushing him.
Lee was working for Fargo-based John T. Jones Construction.
OSHA is continuing to investigate.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators have fined an Idaho company $900,000 not cleaning up spills at oil well sites.
North Dakota’s Industrial Commission levied the fine against Alturas Energy LLC on Tuesday.
Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says the company was issued a complaint in April but has not responded.
Regulators will now ask that a district court judge enforce the state’s order and issue a ruling against the company that could allow for the confiscation of assets.
Alturas officials did not return telephone calls seeking comment.
In world and national news…
CINCINNATI (AP) – An attorney for the family of a black motorist who was shot to death during a traffic stop in Cincinnati is calling for a “peaceful and nonaggressive” response from the community after the white officer was indicted on murder charges. Mark O’Mara spoke after a prosecutor announced charges against University of Cincinnati Officer Ray Tensing in the shooting of Samuel DuBose on July 19. O’Mara said DuBose’s family wants a completely peaceful reaction in the community because, he says, “Sam was a peaceful person.”
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve appears on track to raise interest rates later this year, but it’s signaling that it wants to see further economic gains and higher inflation before doing so. A statement from the Fed after its latest policy meeting provides no timetable. Many analysts foresee the first hike in September, though Fed Chair Janet Yellen has stressed that any increase will be driven by the latest economic data.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says the U.S. has concluded that reports of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar’s death are credible. Afghanistan’s main intelligence agency announced Mullah Omar’s death earlier Wednesday and said he’d been dead for more than two years. Mullah Omar was the one-eyed, reclusive head of the Taliban. His group hosted al-Qaida in the years leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks and then waged a decade-long insurgency against U.S. troops after the 2001 invasion that ended Taliban rule.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign says she will call for lifting the embargo with Cuba in a Florida address on Friday. In the speech, Clinton will side with President Barack Obama, who normalized relations with the island nation in December, and deride her Republican presidential opponents for pushing what her campaign calls the “failed policies of the past.”
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) – A judge in Zimbabwe has granted bail to a professional hunter who was arrested for helping an American tourist illegally kill a protected lion. A lawyer representing a farm owner who also appeared in court says his client hasn’t yet been charged and was released. The two men had been accused of helping a Minnesota dentist, Walter Palmer, lure a protected lion out of a park so that he could be killed.
