Troopers fail to find kidnappers in Montana 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. Twenty men rape Chicago woman 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.

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.
