Seven units of the city fire department were on the scene for almost two hours, and included 30 fire fighters. The cause of the fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n

COOPERSTOWN, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man convicted of
\nshooting and beheading a North Dakota State University researcher
\nwill spend the rest of his life behind bars.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Judge James Hovey sentenced Daniel Wacht on Wednesday to life in
\nprison with no parole.<\/p>\n
Wacht’s attorney had asked for life with the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n
Wacht declined to speak at the sentencing.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A jury in April found Wacht guilty of murder in the death of
\n54-year-old Kurt Johnson.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors say Wacht killed Johnson to prove his worth to a white supremacist group.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Johnson was last seen alive outside a Cooperstown bar on New
\nYear’s Eve 2010.<\/p>\n
His severed head was found in a crawl space in Wacht’s basement. His body has not been found.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Korwin Johnson says his brother’s killing was a “senseless,
\nbrutal crime.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm has revoked the license of a Bismarck insurance agent facing criminal charges.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Brent Kitzan faces 27 felony counts relating to alleged theft,
\ninsurance fraud and securities fraud between 2003 and 2011.<\/p>\n
Hamm late last year had ordered Kitzan to stop doing business in the
\nstate.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court documents do not list an attorney for Kitzan, and his home
\ntelephone number has been disconnected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Securities Commissioner Karen Tyler has ordered a Fargo-based company and its agent to stop doing securities business in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tyler says Freedom USA Investing LLC has offered to sell unregistered securities.<\/p>\n
She also says the company is not registered with her department and James Young is not a registered securities agent.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Young says the problems arose from a misunderstanding over advertising on a company website page and that the page has been removed.<\/p>\n
He says the company is honest and straightforward.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Highway Patrol troopers
\npulled more than 50 trucks off the road and issued more than $8,000
\nin fines during a recent enforcement effort in the western oil
\npatch.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sgt. Mitch Rumple says the 12-person inspection team found nearly 500 violations during the effort late last week.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rumple says he was surprised by the number of truck drivers who
\nweren’t aware they needed a higher-class license. And about two
\ndozen trucks were overweight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lawmakers are going through a
\nsheaf of ideas to cut local property taxes.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some proposed bills would exempt part of a home’s value from
\nproperty tax.<\/p>\n
Some would give bigger exemptions to people who are older than 65.<\/p>\n
And others would give property tax breaks only to older North Dakotans.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Legislature’s interim Taxation Committee is going through
\nthe bills Wednesday.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minot state Sen. David Hogue (hohg) is the committee’s chairman.
\nHe says the panel will be making recommendations later about which
\nproposals to support in the Legislature.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bills that include partial property tax exemptions would
\nrequire homeowners to file a form every year.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Local tax assessors don’t like that idea. Minot city assessor
\nKevin Ternes (TUR’-ness) says annual filings would be a hassle for
\nhomeowners.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0 WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The new chancellor of the North Dakota
\nUniversity System has replaced the system’s chief academic officer
\nand says other top-level personnel changes might be coming.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chancellor Hamid Shirvani (HAH’-mihd shur-VAH’-nee) told state
\nlawmakers on Tuesday that Michel (MY’-kuhl) Hillman has been
\nappointed to work for Bismarck State College.<\/p>\n
Hillman had been the university system’s vice chancellor for academic and student affairs.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Shirvani he says Hillman was reappointed not because of his job performance but because Shirvani thought a change was needed.<\/p>\n
Hillman is on vacation and unavailable for comment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Japan’s ambassador to the United States
\nsays he’s glad North Dakotans don’t sound like they do in the movie
\n“Fargo.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In a visit to Bismarck on Tuesday, Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki
\ntried to blend in by singing the cowboy folk song “Red River
\nValley.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fujisaki held a news conference Tuesday with Gov. Jack
\nDalrymple.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They talked about North Dakota’s chances for expanded trade with Japan.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple is from eastern North Dakota’s Red River Valley.<\/p>\n
The ambassador says that inspired him to try singing the folk song. He
\ngot laughs and some applause.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fujisaki says his first North Dakota impressions came from the
\nmovie “Fargo.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The movie makes fun of local speech patterns.<\/p>\n
Fujisaki says when he asked North Dakotans about the movie, they pointed out it was filmed in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve says the economy is losing
\nstrength. And it’s repeating a pledge to take further steps if the
\njob market doesn’t show sustained improvement.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Fed took no new action after its two-day policy meeting.<\/p>\n
But it acknowledged that economic activity had slowed over the first half of the year, unemployment remains elevated and consumer spending has weakened.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Mitt Romney’s campaign is finalizing plans for
\na multistate bus tour to begin late next week.<\/p>\n
The Republican presidential candidate is expected to visit Virginia, North
\nCarolina and Florida, although the schedule may change in the
\ncoming days.<\/p>\n
Romney returned from a bumpy overseas trip late Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He’s spending today in meetings at his Boston campaign headquarters.<\/p>\n
Next week’s bus tour could be part of the rollout for a running mate.<\/p>\n

\nprosecutors indicate that a university professor was considering
\ngetting a dozen machine guns and shooting at least 200 students at
\na high school — the school attended by his son before he committed
\nsuicide.<\/p>\n
The boy had been disciplined by school officials shortly before he took his own life in March.<\/p>\n
Emails filed in court show that Rainer Reinscheid wrote about wanting to shoot administrators at the high school before killing himself.<\/p>\n
He’s already behind bars on arson charges related to a series of small fires.

\naccused of threatening to shoot up his workplace and identifying
\nhimself as “a joker” has been charged with misdemeanor telephone
\nmisuse.<\/p>\n

Neil Prescott was taken into custody last Friday after the threats were
\nreported to police.<\/p>\n
He has been receiving an emergency psychiatric evaluation at a hospital.<\/p>\n
Police say they found ammunition and about two dozen weapons, including semi-automatic rifles and pistols, in his apartment.

\npushed her.<\/p>\n
