LISA LERER JILL COLVIN Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H. — The FBI will investigate whether there is classified information in newly discovered emails related to its probe of Hillary Clinton's private server, reinjecting one of the most toxic political issues into the presidential campaign less than two weeks before Election Day. Donald Trump immediately pounced on the turn of events, seeing an opportunity to press the argument he's long tried to make against Clinton: That she thinks she's above the law and that she put U...

A release from OPI said Thursday that scientists from NASA will visit the nine Montana schools and provide instruction through Skype to the students. “I know it’s going to promote a lot of interest in science and that is what we want because as a Native American school and being on a reservation we need more science on our reservations,” Rocky...

Tumult erupted in the courtroom Thursday after the verdicts were read when an attorney for group leader Ammon Bundy demanded his client be immediately released and repeatedly yelled at the judge. U.S. marshals tackled a...

Things were very busy in Havre this week 100 years ago. Certain parcels of land once belonging to the former Fort Assinniboine were open for homestead filing, keeping U. S. Commissioner C. B. Elwell very busy. The same C. B. Elwell would later become a well-respected judge of the 12th Judicial District. Of course, elections were taking center stage throughout the United States, and Havre was of no exception. Speeches and presentations were taking place throughout the city, and a product sold at Boone’s Drug Store was also g...
In light of recent revelations regarding Donald Trump’s past, admitted sexual assaults on women, new and emerging allegations regarding the same, and Trump’s anti-democratic comments regarding his unwillingness to respect the outcome of the 2016 presidential elections, many Montanans are looking afresh for an alternative to supporting the Republican nominee for President. For many, they will hold their noses and vote for Hillary Clinton. But for any voter who prioritizes fiscal discipline, limited government, civil lib...

The m...
Editor, I am proud to have lived in Montana my whole 56 years. One of the things that I am so proud of is the common sense we have here in Montana. Initiative 177 is an attack on our common sense. It requires the state to trap predators, vermin and sick animals after doing so is outlawed on public land. Added regulations cost, and ridiculous new rules make no sense. The silly things these people say about trapping are not believable; they are lies. They should be required to go on an actual trap line for one week. No animals...
Editor, In just a few short weeks we will all be going to cast our ballot in the 2016 election. One of the ballot initiatives we will be voting on concerns the Montana medical marijuana program. In 2011, the legislature, after attempting a repeal of our medical marijuana law, put in place a law with the intent of getting as close as they could get to repeal of a law that passed by 62 percent of Montana voters. One of the provisions of this law was that law enforcement could, if they desired, conduct unannounced inspections...
Editor, I-177, if passed, would ban all trapping on public lands — one third of the state — in the state of Montana. A similar measure was defeated four years ago, as I recall. Public lands include schools, post offices, court houses, city halls, federal buildings and offices, military facilities, state offices, roads, BLM and Forest Service lands and offices. Some of the traps outlawed are listed as body grip trap. Translation — It would be illegal to set a mouse trap in any of these facilities including food service areas...
