\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Knodel and the student testified during the trial.

CASSELTON, N.D. (AP) – Federal investigators have released hundreds of pages detailing the fiery 2013 oil train derailment near Casselton, North Dakota, that forced 1,400 to evacuate for several days. Interviews with the BNSF workers operating the two trains in the derailment are included in what the National Transportation Safety Board posted online. Everyone aboard both trains escaped unharmed.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple and the GOP-led Legislature are at odds over how earnings should be budgeted from the state’s trust fund for oil taxes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Legislature passed a measure this session that bars the governor from considering money from the fund’s principal when crafting budgets.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple vetoed the legislation but the House voted 67-23 Monday to override the veto. It now goes to the Senate.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The fund is expected to top $3 billion this month.<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – One of professional wrestling’s most celebrated performers and promoters, Verne Gagne, has died at age 89.<\/p>\n

Gene Okerlund, who was inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame with Gagne in 2006, says his longtime friend died Monday in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

WWE says Gagne turned professional in 1950 and won several regional championships before heading to the newly formed American Wrestling Association in 1960.<\/p>\n

In the 1960s and 1970s, Gagne became a promoter and eventually became the sole owner of the AWA. He remained an active competitor until the early 1980s, holding the AWA World Heavyweight Championship 10 times between 1960 and 1981.<\/p>\n

Okerlund calls Gagne one of the pioneers of professional wrestling who helped “put it on the map.”<\/p>\n
