The car flipped over, spun around, then exploded when the cattle truck continued forward and skidded on top of it. said Matheson, who declined to run for a third term and is leaving office after this year, also received a rousing welcome before giving the convention's keynote address at Farmington Jr. High School. Matheson expressed the need for Utah to invest and plan for the future, as he asked Davis County Democrats to support the candidates who would provide security for the state. "Democrats are young and willing to work towards the future," the governor said.

He said that victory, coupled with a good showing at Weber County's Dem- ocratic convention Saturday, should carry him through the convention and into the primary. Gardner is running for the Democratic nomination against two-part- former U.S. Rep. Wayne Owens, who leads substantially in the public opinion polls. Some political observers feel Owens' name recognition might be enough to give him 70 percent of the delegate vote at the state convention. A candidate receiving 70 of the vote is awarded the party's automatic nomination without having to go through a primary election. "The public is ready to listen to the Democrats this time and because of the enthusiasm here (at the convention), 1 can guarantee there will be a Democratic governor in 1985."

"These 11 companies have not complied (with securities laws), and therefore they won't be doing business." He said the division's past failure to adequately review securities registration may be one reason for a high number of fraudulent firms that have been able to operate in Utah in the past. He noted Utah has been called the strock fraud capital of the world. To combat that image, Hiatt said, te division and Gov.

St. George Officials Ink Power Accord ST. GEORGE, Utah (UPI) -St. George officals have signed an agreement that will give the city a new $40 million set of transmission lines and make it more independent in serving its residents' power needs, officials say. "The time hs come to do something or become slaves" to existing systems, retiring St. George utility director Rudger McArthur cautioned city officials. Mayor Karl Brooks heeded the advice and signed an agreement with Deseret and Generation Transmission Cooperative and the Utah Municipal Power Systems, a state political subdivision, for a new $40 million set of transmission lines to St. George. St. George will bear half the $40 million cost, which will be paid through the sale of revenue bonds and use of existing reserve funds. The new transmission entity will be known as Dixie Transmission System. It will carry electrical power from the Intermountain Power Project in Millard County, or fom Mona Substation in Juab County, to St. George. Salt Lake Boy Falls to His Death - A SNOWBIRD, Utah (UPI) Salt Lake City youth, hiking with friends in Little Cottonwood Canyon, slipped on wet moss and fell about 1,000 feet to his death on the rocks below. Salt Lake County deputy sheriffs identified the victim as Cory C. Pavich, a Granite High School who would have received his diploma Thursday. Sheriff's Lt.

Idaho Falls Police Sgt. Gary Larsen said Sunday the explosion early Saturday shattered three windows, but injured no one. Larsen said an explosive device placed outside the temple detonated at 12:10 a.m. and its debris had been collected by police for sampling.

Deloria, director of the American Law Center in Albuquerque, said many white law firms had been reluctant to hire Indian lawyers because "they know Indian attorneys are their competition in the future." He said many tribes hire white lawyers to handle their legal affairs because they think white attorneys "with political connections can represent them better than Indian lawyers can."

SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) -The Utah Securities Division has denied stock registration applications for 11 companies, the largest number of denials at one time the division has ever handed down. Division Director Jack Hiatt said the denials were based on the failure of the firms to supply information required by the division for registration. Hiatt said the denials reflect the division's new policy of more thoroughly reviewing stock registration applications. The division has been criticized in the past for being too lax. Besides the 11 denials, the division has denied a application from Mutual Home Loan Fund, a mortgage investment company that has been in operation with division authority for about three years. Hiatt said the division denied the company's annual filing to continue issuing securities-relate- d investments due to 13 "material Page Briefs GovPALM SPRINGS (UPI) ernors from western and states began a meeting Sunday at a resort hotel in the California desert Mrs. Matheson Seeks Committee Post FARMINGTON, Utah (UPI) -Utah First Lady Norma Matheson says she will run for national - Western Governors Begin Meeting The victims were identified Sunday as Yvonne Jorgensen, 20.
