Bismarck (CSi) The Monday morning Amber Alert issued for a 15 year old female from North Central North Dakota, at 10:36 a.m., was cancelled less than a hour after it was issued.

KFGO Radio reports, it started Sunday evening about 11-O’Clock when Three Affiliated Tribes Police informed the Highway Patrol that the girl may have been kidnapped and could be in danger.

Highway Patrol Sergeant Tom Iverson says he was told that the girl was found safe, with her father at Four Bears Casino in New Town.

He says the man who tribal police thought had abducted the girl from Parshall is dead and police released a picture of that man by mistake. Iverson says he doesn’t know whether the girl was ever in any danger.

PARSHALL, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol has canceled an Amber Alert, issued mid-morning Monday, for a 15-year-old girl whom Three Affiliated Tribes police had believed might have been abducted.

The patrol says Aimee Messerly has been found. Authorities did not immediately provide further details. They had said earlier that the girl might be traveling with a man, described as a Native American Male.

The patrol said the possible abduction was reported to authorities at 11-p.m., Sunday.

The vehicle was last seen traveling southbound on Highway 37 south of Parshall at 11:00 pm on March 20, 2016.

The Amber Alert warning system was launched after the 1996 kidnapping and murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman in Arlington, Texas. It’s used to alert the public to endangered children.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Deposits into North Dakota’s oil tax savings account have dropped to the lowest level since the fund was created.

     State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt says the Legacy Fund deposit for March was $22.9 million, down from $31.7 million in February.

     North Dakota voters approved the fund in 2010. It received its first deposit of $34.3 million in September 2011.

     The fund had been growing faster than anticipated. But it’s slowed now with slumping oil production and prices.

     The Legacy Fund gets 30 percent of the state’s oil tax collections. The money can’t be touched before 2017 and it would still take a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to dip into it.

     Schmidt says this month’s transfer brings the balance of the account to about $3.46 billion.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A company that provides workforce housing in the western North Dakota oil patch says it will sue to continue operating crew camps in Williston.

     The City Commission has set a July 1 deadline for camps to shut down. Target Logistics Regional Manager Travis Kelley says workers shouldn’t be forced into hotels that don’t serve meals or into apartments they don’t need most of the time.

     Mayor Howard Klug says he’s equally firm in his conviction that it’s time to end temporary housing in city limits. He says there’s plenty of other housing available.

     The North Dakota Petroleum Council is backing the crew camp operators. President Ron Ness worries that when the current oil slump ends, the industry will be forced to use “camper cities” rather than professionally run crew camps.

In world and national news…

HAVANA (AP) – He says it’s a “new day” in U.S.-Cuban relations — but President Barack Obama is making it clear that some longstanding differences between the two nations have not gone away. After a meeting in Havana with Cuban President Raul Castro, Obama said he had raised “very serious differences” on democracy and human rights. But he also said those difficult conversations can clear the way for closer ties.

     HAVANA (AP) – Cuba’s president is calling on the United States to lift even more restrictions on Cuba. He’s also urging the return of land used for the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay. Raul Castro said in a statement after Monday’s historic meeting in Havana that he welcomes changes to allow commercial flights to resume. But he says an economic blockade that remains in place is the “most important obstacle” to Cuba’s economic development and the well-being of the Cuban people. He says he recognizes that the White House wants to lift the blockade, but that Congress has refused to go along.

     WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump has been meeting with Republican officials Monday on Capitol Hill — part of his effort to get a skeptical GOP establishment to embrace his presidential bid. Meanwhile, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton warned a leading pro-Israel organization that Trump is dangerously unqualified to handle international conflicts. She also criticized Trump’s comments in February in which he vowed to be a “sort of a neutral guy” on Israel.

     SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korea is continuing to respond to what it sees as a provocation — the ongoing military drills involving the U.S. and South Korea. Officials in Seoul say North Korea Monday fired five short-range projectiles into the sea. The firings came three days after South Korea said the North had launched its first medium-range ballistic missile into the sea since early 2014, ignoring U.N. resolutions.

     ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Jurors in the Hulk Hogan sex tape lawsuit are considering whether to award punitive damages against Gawker Media. After hearing briefly from lawyers from Gawker and Hogan Monday afternoon, the jury began deliberating. Hogan sued Gawker after it posted a video of him having sex with his then-best friend’s wife. On Friday, the jury awarded Hogan $115 million for economic harm and emotional distress.
