The trap that sprung on Dennis j Sopinski's hand and his dog Mag-gi'- s believed to be intended leg was placed legally for a coyote within the city limits, protesters said Monday. But for every creature the traps are intended to catch, two or three pets or other animals are snared, said Craig Cook, Humane Society president. "There are many cases of animals gnawing their paws off trying to get out." he said. "It's a miserable, horrible death." Sopinski on Monday filed a property damage civil suit in 5th District Court against the trap owner, who is listed in court records only as John Doe.

According to prison protocol, construction of the portable death chamber, housed in a warehouse inside the prison's most secure area, was to be completed Tuesday. The prison planned to allow media representatives to tour and photograph the chamber today. Ripplinger said more than 50 had applied.

They include an inventory of the rifles and ammufour live rounds and one nition that will be loaded into blank the rifles five minutes before Taylor is brought into the room and strapped to the chair.

Three such inventories will occur, the last when the firing squad members arrive in the chamber an hour before the execution, according to the protocol.

Smith said he is prepared to face the wrath of angry fans if the university gets rid of the mascot name. "If we stopped using the Ute name, alumni would be up in arms," Smith said. "They would say the university is caving in to the pressure to be politically correct. But we don't live only in the state of Utah." The use of American Indians as mascots has rankled activists for years. Buhler said it only makes sense for the state to protect the substantial investment it makes in educating officers. A similar problem exists among state corrections officers, noted Buhler.

He is not inclined to pay to keep it. "We don't want to continue to use the Ute name if it offends you," Smith told the governing Ute Business Committee Tuesday. "We don't want to disparage your traditions or caricature the tribe." Some committee members said they need time to think about the president's offer and Troopers, wives lobby for pay raise; Cache County deputies helped capture escapee The Cache LOGAN (AP) County Sheriff's Office took part in the sting that led to the arrest Sunday of cop killer Brain Stack, who had escaped from a Texas prison on Thursday. Stack was the second of three escaped inmates to be captured. Cache Deputy Darrin Bingham was on duty Saturday when he got a call from a woman who lives in River Heights. "She said Stack had made contact with her from San Antonio and was trying to get a hold of another person up here and she decided to help us out," Bingham said. The other person apparently was a mutual friend who worked at the Utah State Prison when Stack was an inmate there, the sheriff's office said. Bingham called the Utah Department of Corrections ' and San Antonio Police. The FBI called back and a tap was placed on the informant's phone. Stack called back again Saturday and four more times Sunday morning, asking that money be wired to San Antonio. Bingham said the calls were traced to a San Antonio grocery where a Western Union office is located. When Stack showed up at the Western Union window at 12:45 p.m. Sunday and gave his alias and a password provided by the informant, a police officer was posing as the teller. Bingham said there was a brief struggle when San Antonio detectives swooped in, but Stack was taken to police headquarters and booked on charges of escape and auto theft. Stack, 35, is serving five years to life for killing a Utah Highway Patrol trooper in Garfield County in 1979. Stack, who was 18 at the time of the killing, had been behind bars for 17 years when he escaped from the Cove Development. :.i MEW YEARS, SUPER BOWL END OF MONTH! these specials WRAPPED UP H ONE Jill HO i. liimrno- - All !!
