MISSOULA (AP) — Cody Johnson was head over heels for his new wife, but Jordan Graham was having serious doubts that came to a head when Johnson fell to his death during an argument on a steep cliff in Glacier National Park, prosecutors said Monday.

Federal prosecutors say the woman from Kalispell, Mont., intentionally pushed Johnson the night of July 7, just eight days after their marriage, then lied to family, friends and the police for days by s...

The students heard of two families that are in need of help and...
I want to apologize to anyone who drove out to the high school to judge at the speech, debate and drama tournament Saturday only to find out it was canceled. Activities director Dennis Murphy and I spent quite a bit of time on the telephone late Friday night trying to decide whether to continue the tournament after some six schools had canceled due to the bitterly cold weather. We ended up deciding about 11:30 p.m. that the safety of the students came first, and we needed to cancel. I know I failed to contact many judges, and...

Firefighters evacuated Cottonwood Cinema 4 after responding to a 4:27 p.m. Friday call to investigate a fire alarm that went off. The alarm turned out to be a false call, firefighters said. A broken water pipe, connected to the sprinkler system and likely caused by the bitter winter weather, set the alarm off. Fire alarms are set off when they read that water is flowing through the pipes in a sprinkler system. The broken pipe let water flow through the system, thus causing the alarm to sound....
