BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A 2-year-old boy in a vehicle that plunged into Arrowrock Reservoir in southwest Idaho has died. The Ada County Coroner's Office says Riley Lutton died Monday at St. Luke's Medical Center in Boise. State Police say that on Friday a vehicle driven by Lawrence Lutton of Lowden, Washington, went off Arrowrock Road and into the reservoir. Police are investigating.

IDAHO CITY, Idaho (AP) — A three-wheeled bicycle belonging to a 90-year-old World War II veteran in central Idaho has been stolen. KTVB-TV reports that John Truck's cherry red tricycle disappeared from his front yard Sunday night. Fellow veterans at VFW Post 142 in Idaho City gave him the bike last fall so he could get around the town. The bike is his only mode of transportation.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A plan by state wildlife biologist to kill 4,000 ravens this spring has been scrapped due delays in federal environmental permits. The Times-News reports that the Idaho Fish and Game Department had planned to put out poisoned chicken eggs for the ravens, in an effort to boost the number of sage grouse.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A swarm of central Idaho earthquakes that rattled Challis residents for more than a month appears to be dying out. But seismologists say five portable seismographs have provided new information about the area that saw a sequence of quakes up to 4.9 in magnitude, peaking in mid-April. The Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology says they're at the northern tip of the Lost River Fault but it's not clear if there's a connection. That fault caused Idaho's largest recorded quake, a 6.9-magnitude shaker in 1983.
