Neither Bell nor the Van Leeuwens could be reached for comment Tuesday. However, several wagon-train participants Tuesday said they had not heard any announcement regarding a change in the five-wagon decision.

And supporters in Utah say they won't be pleased if the "compromise" is a separate parade on July 23 rather than inclusion in the July 24 celebration. "Who's going to take a day off on the 23rd?" said Kimberly Wagstaff of Salt Lake City, who has been organizing a petition drive to get the entire wagon train into the Days of '47 Parade. This is something our children will never forget. These are the people who've earned a right to be in the parade and this is how they're treated?" until then." Days of '47 President Flip Harmon said last week that five wagons "would be the limit" for the annual parade, since "We've only got a two-hour parade, and we have to have some variety." Harmon said he feared the entire wagon train 30 wagons and the company of walkers, outriders and handcarts would be too slow for a televised parade. Harmon's decision has disappointed many on the trek, who thought they were going to receive a parade welcome July 24.

"We're all very disappointed," said Naomi Daugs, 18, of Logan, who has walked the trail since Omaha, Neb. "We've gotten great reception in some of these small towns in Nebraska and Wyoming, and out here, nobody even knows the heritage. It seems like the 24th of July should mean something in Salt Lake City." Hales said Days of '47 officials met Saturday with Jim Bell, the By The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY Some participants in the Mormon Trail -Sesquicentennial wagon train selected to participate in the Days of '47 Parade are threatening to boycott the event unless the rest of the wagon train, walkers and handcart pullers are allowed in the July 24 parade. "We've convinced three of the five wagons that were selected to boycott," said Tom Whitaker of Midway, whose wagon was one of the five picked for the parade. Days of '47 officials say they have a compromise.

However, parade chairman Frank Hales won't announce the new proposal until next week. "We did meet with the wagon-train folks in Wyoming over the weekend and reached a compromise, but they asked us not to say anything until after they've spread the word among their people," Hales said Tuesday. "We're not giving any further statements Sympathy A tribute to the ones they loved.

A hearing before the Records Committee is the last step before the issue could head to court. In May, the Utah chapter of SPJ filed a request to make public the names.

The state Board of Regents denied the request, which was filed through the Government Records Access and Management Act. While Tuesday's vote was unanimous. Records Committee members said it was a tough decision. At issue is the public's right to know who is being considered for the job vs. the search committee's ability to find quality candidates.

SALT LAKE CITY Inmate dies after an injection of heroin A Utah prison inmate has died after apparently injecting himself with heroin. At 1:03 p.m. Tuesday, a fellow inmate discovered the body of 27-year-old David John Candelario. A syringe was under his body and a packet of black-tar heroin was in the pocket of his pants. Attempts to resuscitate him failed.

Candelario was sentenced to the Draper prison in 1995 for drug possession. He was paroled in January, but on Feb. 20 the Board of Corrections issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of parole violations. The last time Corrections officers saw Candelario alive was at 7 a.m. during breakfast in the prison mess hall.

By The Associated Press iW SPllJSBl'RV MICHIKt Bfc-UW (702) 34AM West State Street Hurricane, Utah 324Okl Mesquite, By The Associated Press KAYSVILLE, Utah Davis County, once one of the state's top beef producers, is growing a new crop that is rapidly crowding out the ranchers. Houses. Lots of them. And rancher Joe Hill wanted his counterparts around the state to see firsthand the problems associated with ranching in a rapidly urbanizing environment. So he volunteered to host the Utah Cattlemen's Association convention.

"When (ranchers) go to these other counties, they are all in rural areas. I thought this would be a lot different than what they've seen in the past," he said. Davis County is home to some of the most fertile ground in the state. It is also a great place to Utah Rep. Merrill Cook kept his promise Wednesday, and paid off his bet with Rep.

Jesse Jackson D-Ill. Cook donned a Chicago Bulls hat and posed with the life-size cardboard cutout of Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. "My team, the mighty Jazz, was defeated in the NBA Finals by the mightier Bulls," Cook lamented in a floor speech praising the NBA Champions. Jackson rubbed it in, raising his hands high over his head and bowing to Jordan's likeness as Cook made his speech while wearing the Bulls hat he'd promised to wear all day.

Cook said his chief of staff, who isn't a sports fan, helped Cook prepare his speech. COALVILLE Commissioners approve concerts, but fear crime Summit County commissioners have approved plans for the 1997 Summer Concert Series at Wolf Mountain, but expressed doubts as to whether the economic benefits were worth the accompanying traffic, safety and justice-system headaches. County officials say some artists brought in by United Concerts attract fans prone to criminal acts. "You could have 5,000 gang-bangers up there for one show, and they'll cause 10 times more problems than 12,000 people at another concert," Sheriff Fred Ely said. "And it doesn't end that night.

Our detectives have had to go down to Salt Lake to investigate rapes and other crimes committed during these concerts." James Paul Olson ST. GEORGE James Paul Olson, 88, died June 23, 1997, in St. George, Utah. He was born Oct. 14, 1908 in Peoa.

George Swan, the association's first vice president, knows all about the problem. His family used to run a ranch on land that now houses North Layton Junior High where the convention is being held. Swan, who now owns a ranch in Idaho, said he has deep roots in Davis County, and he has watched the area explode. "In the '50s and '60s there were farms, but we were very scattered," he said. "The influx of people is actually one of the reasons we left." Swan said it is mind-boggling to see all the people in Davis County and tough for ranchers and suburbs to share the same landscape.

Hill said farmers are planting vegetables on land once used to grow feed for cattle. Brent Tanner of South Weber, executive vice president of the Utah Cattlemen's Association, said there are new challenges facing ranchers with the construction of subdivisions.
