Accused Killer Seeks Attention in Idaho Trial
In Wallace Idaho Thomas E Creech on trial for two murders contends he killed 42 as a contract killer and Satanic priest. Psychiatrists testified his need for attention dates to childhood and he tends to make sensational statements for reward. They found no proof of victims beyond two bodies found in a ditch near Donnelly. Creech 25 remains in the third week of trial as defense cites mental defect. The article also notes the Minnesota Territory created by Congress in 1849.

36 Inch Drain Clogged Causes Canal Street Flooding
A partially clogged 36 inch storm sewer along Canal Street and Route 33 backed up water and flooded Canal Street Friday afternoon during heavy rain.

The newer 18 inch sewer tile along Canal Street did not cause the overflow.
