mountains
BIG SKY, Mont. (AP) - Members of
an assault team armed with high-
technology equipment searched the
roadless Spanish Peaks area from
helicopters yesterday in the hunt for
two wilderness-wise mountain men who
allegedly kidnapped a woman athlete to
get a bride and killed a man searching
for her.
But the 11-member team returned to
base after eight hours without finding a
trace of Don Nichols, 53, and his 19-
year-old son, Dan.
AUTHORITIES said the two men,
who have roamed the mountains for
years, may be living in a cave.
The two vowed not to be taken alive
when they vanished into the timber
Monday morning after Alan Goldstein,
36, of Big Sky was shot to death. Gold-
stein was slain as he attempted to
rescue kidnap victim Kari Swenson of
Bozeman,
Swenson, 23, a member of the U.S.
women's biathlon team, was abducted
Sunday while jogging in the Big Sky
resort area several miles from the ran-
ch where she worked.
Authorities say Swenson, chained to a
tree, was shot in the chest by the
younger Nichols, apparently by ac-
cident, as Goldstein and another sear-
cher approached the Nicholses' camp.
She was hospitalized in Bozeman in
stable condition.
There was no indication why the
search was halted at 1 p.m.
If the two men are found, a hostage
negotiator will attempt to get them to
surrender, said Madison County Sheriff
Johnny France.

CHICAGO (AP) - A 41-year-old
woman out walking with a friend was
abducted and held captive in a house
for 12 hours while as many as 20 men
raped and beat her before she fled
naked, police said yesterday.
The victim, who was abducted about
5 am. Wednesday near her North Side
apartment, told police that as many as
20 men took turns raping and at-
tacking her with chains and fists, and
burning her with cigarettes while four
young boys watched but did not par-
ticipate, said Detective William Mur-
phy.
Mark Foster, 17, who police said lives
in the house on the city's South Side
where the attack took place, and Edric
Jones, 20, were arrested Wednesday
and charged with aggravated criminal
sexual assault, Murphy said. Police
were looking for six other men named
by the four witnesses, he added.

march for
peace in
Central
America
By MARLA GOLD
Carrying banners that read
"Freedom for Nicaragua," and "Uncle
Sam - Hands off Central America,"
the Progressive Student Network
yesterday began a march to Detroit to
take part in a rally Saturday against
U.S. involvement in Central America.
There are more than 100 people who
are somehow affiliated with PSN, but
only six are participating in the march.
About 20 will join the pack by car on
Saturday at the rally site in Detroit.
Marchers explained that many people
aren't participating because of work
and other commitments.
THE MARCHERS contend that the
three-day walk will be a good time to
think about the situation in El Salvador
and Nicaragua, where the U.S. has
been supplying arms for the past few
years.
"We'll sing, talk, and reflect on the
U.S.'s involvement in Central
America," said marcher Tom Marx.
Yesterday also marked the fifth an-
