FILE - This combination of file photos provided by the Arkansas Department of Correction shows death-row inmates Bruce Earl Ward, left, and Don William Davis. Arkansas intended to kill Ward and Davis in a double-execution last April, but the men won stays after claiming independent psychiatrists should have reviewed their files and helped develop trial strategies. At the state Supreme Court on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018, lawyers for the state said the pair never met the threshold that would have required the assistance.

Organizers hope it can be used to help rebuild a century-old chalet in Glacier National Park that was destroyed in a wildfire last summer. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)
