SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Skeletal remains discovered last month by a trapper in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument have been identified as those of an Indian Woman buried in a granary about 100 years ago. Monument and law enforcement authorities were initially concerned the remains could have been more recent and shipped them to the state medical examiner. "According to that office, the remains were of a woman in her 20s and were historic something in the vicinity of 100 years old," said Kate Cannon, associate monument manager. She said the skeleton was wrapped in clothing and the surrounding artifacts indicated Monument officials are from word southern awaiting Utah Indian leaders on how best to handle the remains, Cannon said. Officials for the Paiute Tribe, headquartered in Cedar City, were unavailable for comment Thursday. She declined to disclose the exact location or the surrounding artifacts where the remains were found. Cannon said park managers fear others may venture into the area and disturb, destroy or steal other Indian artifacts. The remains were found about two weeks ago by an outfitter checking his traps in the area around the town of Escalante, Garfield County officials said. jDismissal of developer's libel suit upheld ; SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -The raucous debate between missed the action in August 1997 and Mast appealed.

Mast and his group, which opposed the county's plan to spend $7.9 million for the golf course, advertised against it. Overson accused Mast of spreading lies, and Mast filed a $1 million libel suit in 3rd District Court. Judge William Thorne dis discourse between Mast and Overson is commendable for demonstrating why 'debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust and wide open,"' wrote Judge ; J J , Gregory K. Orme for the three-judg- e panel. According to the appeals judges, Overson's comments were not legally defamatory largely because of the context in which they were made. Good weather may he "a" factor in high traffic toll SALT LAKE CITY (AP) 1998 could turn out to be when it snows, but fewer injuries because people aren't going as fast," Allred said. Last year's 360 fatalities broke all previous records and highway office data analyst Marilee Gomez said she thinks 1997 will remain the record year. Gomez said Wednesday only 10 fatalities had been recorded in December, though not all the law enforcement agencies in the state had reported. Hut Allred was less sure. "Gas is cheap, people are traveling long distances during Utah's deadliest year in a decade for traffic fatalities, and the dry, sunny weather this winter may be a factor. The Utah Highway Safety Office said there have been 332 fatalities through November, compared to 322 by November of 1997. Craig Allred, director of the highway safety office, said people tend to drive more carelessly in good weather than bad weather. "There are more crashes Cook hires environmentalist SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Rep. Merrill Cook, whose standing with environ- mentalists dropped when he voted contrary to his promise for a parks bill they opposed, has hired a University of Utah economics instructor. Michael Garrity, whose research criticizes the Forest Service for subsidizing the timber industry, has been hired by Cook as a legislative aide for public lands and environmental issues. Cook's standing with environmentalists fell last fall when Cook, under pressure from fellow Utah Republicans, voted in favor of a bill opposed environmental by groups. Among other things, the bill would have removed several hundred thousand acres of land from wilderness consideration in the San Rafael region of the holidays, the weather's pedestrians and bicyclists were killed in 38 accidents.
