His wounds consisted of blunt force trauma to the head and stab wounds to the abdomen.<\/p>\n

Cave had appealed the conviction in the North Dakota Supreme Court, which was later withdrawn.<\/p>\n

\nvisit Dickinson State University this month.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DSU President D.C. Coston says the visit by U.S. Department of

\nroutine review of the school’s use of federal financial aid
\nprograms.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A state audit earlier this year showed Dickinson State had given
\ndiplomas to Chinese students who didn’t earn them. The audit says
\nDickinson State padded its enrollment figures by counting people
\nwho attended short training seminars as full-time students.

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man accused of killing his
\nmother and stealing her car has pleaded guilty to murder.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Forty-eight-year-old Dean Grenstiner pleaded guilty to the

\ncommit bank fraud.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Kollings were scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in
\nBismarck on Tuesday. But the sentencing was postponed. It has not
\nyet been rescheduled.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A lawyer for Betty Kolling says the delay will give more time
\nfor the Kollings and prosecutors to work out a repayment agreement.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors say Betty Kolling stole the money from five clients
\nwhen she worked as a trust officer for the Bank of the West in
\nDickinson.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Betty Kolling says in court documents that she funneled the
\nmoney to her sister, Ann Loran of Richardton. Loran has also
\npleaded guilty in the case.

\nif the team planned to charge season-ticket holders large fees to
\nhelp cover the cost.
