FORCED CHEMO NEW: Sheriff: Boy who fled chemo returns to Minnesota NEW ULM, Minn. (AP) A woman and her 13-year-old son who were on the run from court-ordered cancer treatment for the boy returned to Minnesota early Monday voluntarily.

Brown County Sheriff Rich Hoffmann says Colleen Hauser and her son, Daniel, arrived in New Ulm at 3 a.m. by charter flight. The sheriff did not say where the pair has been or whether Daniel received medical treatment for his Hodgkin's lymphoma while they were gone.

Hoffmann says because Colleen Hauser returned voluntarily, a warrant for her arrest was lifted.

Daniel Hauser saw a doctor in the Twin Cities on Monday. A court hearing on his custody could happen as soon as Tuesday. Daniel was left with his parents for now.

Forty-three-year-old Rita M. Seha and 2-year-old Carter Newell were critically injured Saturday when the van they were in was struck in Olmsted County. Four people in the van died.

St. Marys Hospital in Rochester says Seha remained critical Monday, but would not give out any information about Carter. Both patients are from Rochester.

Information from: Star Tribune, http://www.startribune.com BOATERS OVERBOARD NEW: 13 people thrown from boat on Mississippi RED WING, Minn. (AP) Thirteen boat passengers, including two children, were thrown overboard Sunday and into the Mississippi River when the boat they were riding in hit a wake from another boat near Red Wing.

Goodhue County authorities say on Monday that 11 people were taken to hospitals in Red Wing, Hastings and Woodbury, with mild to moderate injuries.

Witnesses told authorities the 45-foot passenger boat was going about 50 miles per hour near Lock and Dam No. 3. The driver turned sharply after hitting the wake from another boat, and all 13 passengers went overboard.

The initial investigation showed alcohol was not a factor.

Information from: Star Tribune, http://www.startribune.com HISTORICAL SOCIETY-CUTS Minn. Historical Society cuts less than feared ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) The Minnesota Historical Society says it's planning for an 8.6 percent cut in its budget, much less than the 15 percent cut it feared a month ago.

Historical Society director Nina Archabal says the cuts will not be as drastic as the earlier plan, but there will still be layoffs.

Archabal says she does not yet know how many people will be let go. The three historical sites slated for closure will now remain open with limited hours.

The cuts will come even though the society will receive $20 million from a new sales tax created by the so-called "legacy amendment" to fund environmental and arts programs.

However, Archabal says the Historical Society is still waiting to see what Gov. Pawlenty will cut using his executive authority, which could change its budget again.

Information from: Minnesota Public Radio News, http://www.mpr.org ELDERLY robbery Arrest made in necklace theft from St. Paul woman ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) St. Paul police have made an arrest that may lead to the return of a gold necklace given to a woman 66 years ago when her husband returned from World War II.

The 14-karat necklace was stolen Friday from 95-year-old Vivian Clausen. She says a man put his arm around her and said, "Hi, grandma," then jerked it off of her.

Surveillance video captured the man running off. On Sunday, police told her they had arrested a man at a Wal-Mart in St. Paul's Midway neighborhood who might be the one who robbed her.

A police spokesman says officers are still looking for the stolen necklace.

Clausen is waiting for its return. In the meantime she says she'd like to meet the man who stole it. Then, she says, "He'd be a sorry man." Information from: KARE-TV, http://www.kare11.com RED SOX-TWINS NEW: Papelbon, Red Sox hang on for 6-5 win over Twins MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Jason Bay and Kevin Youkilis hit two-run doubles, and the Boston Red Sox started a 10-game road trip with a 6-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday.

Jonathan Papelbon survived a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth by pinch-hitter Joe Mauer to get his 12th save.

Michael Cuddyer homered early for Minnesota, but Brad Penny (5-1) pitched into the sixth for his third straight victory.

Francisco Liriano (2-6) struck out seven in four innings for Minnesota, including three straight to finish the second after the Red Sox put runners on second and third. But he was done in, again, by the big inning after the White Sox hit him with a seven-run fourth last week in Chicago.
