Show 2 - The Daily Tuesday, January ,6, ,996 Utah Chronicle TT TT NATIONS WORLD Mine Accident - Rescuers rappelled down an abanTOOELE, Utah (AP) doned mine shaft in western Utah Monday in search of an 1 8 year-olman who fell down the shaft believed to be more than 600 feet d deep. One rescuer carrying lights rappelled down 450 feet and had not spotted the man by midday, sail Tooele County Sheriff Frank Scharmann. About 30 members of Tooele County's Search and Rescue team waited with the parents of Jerimiah Etherington for word on the youths fate, said Fred Bennison of the rescue team. The)' were hoping the rappeller would find Etherington alive, but had not heard anything since he fell Saturday afternoon. Searchers spent all day Sunday and part of the night Sunday at the site, about 40 miles west of Salt Lake City. They rappelled down to 300 feet, but did not find Etherington. He and several other men were spelunking in the Honorcne Mine, abandoned in 1928, about five miles west of Tooele. It is one of dozens of abandoned lead, silver and zinc mines that dot the area. Sheriff's Ll Frank Park said Etherington's friends said a lot of debris fell down the shaft after the man fell. "We're holding out all hope, but certainly with the length of rime involved and the length of the shaft makes us wonder," Scharmann said. "But if he's hurt, maybe we wouldn't have any contact." see ''Accident' on page 7 4 Hostage Standoff Clinton Preaches Unity - ATLANTA (AP) Preaching racial unity from Martin Luther Kingjr.'s pulpit, President Clinton said Monday the slain civil rights leader would find his dream unfulfilled today. "He would say to us, Tou've still got a ways to go,'" the president said. "We have to continue to heal the racial divisions that still tear at our nation," Clinton said during the preeminent ceremony for King commemorations across the country. The president waited three hours to speak, visibly enjoying the lengthy, lively memorial to the civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who would have turned 67 Monday. King was killed April 4, 1968. Linking arms with King's son, Dexter, and wife, Coretta Scott King, the president puffed out his chest and sang "We Shall Overcome" and "Lift Every Heart and Sing." Clinton laughed himself red in the face as comic Dick Gregory poked fun at House Speaker Newt Gingrich for complaining last year about having to leave Air Force One from the rear door. "You made him a Negro for a day," Gregory quipped. King's birthday was observed in marches and services across the country. In Indianapolis, GOP presidential candidate Sen. Dick Lugar recalled the night Robert Kennedy told a stunned crowd in the Indiana capital that King had been killed. "Crisis camevin an awesome, horrible way that night," said Lugar, who in 1968 was Indianapolis' mayor. see "Unity" on page 3 Mm Next UNI Lecture Discusses Clinical Depression of Elderly Clinical depression is a serious medical illness affecting over 11 million Americans each year - three out of every 100 are over the age of 65.

If the legislature will not approve the shift, programs like the freeze have less chance of becoming reality.

Dozens of rebels were killed and two Russian soldiers died. . Military planes dropped flares, illuminating the charred houses of Pervomayskaya so soldiers could hunt for the rebels and their captives. The rebels, estimated to number between 150 and 250, put up d fierce resistance with small arms and grenades, and managed to knock out several Russian armored personnel carriers. Gen. Mikhail Barsukov, who was in charge of the Russian operation, said the attack was launched because rebels had started killing hostages Sunday. The rebels denied the charge. "We want the terrorists punished and wiped out from the Chechen land," President Boris Yeltsin, speaking in Moscow, told the ITAR-Tas- s news agency. The Interior Ministry in Moscow said 60 rebels were killed, 15 seriously wounded and an unspecified number of others captured.
