From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The FBI is considering whether to accept an offer from Randy Weaver, the man whose wife they killed four years ago in a bloody standoff near Ruby Ridge, Idaho, to mediate an end to the nearly week-old siege with antigovernment “freemen†holed up on a remote ranch near Jordan, officials said. Meanwhile, Freeman member Richard E. Clark turned himself in to authorities at a residence near Grass Range in central Montana. Arrested freeman leader LeRoy Schweitzer was moved to a federal health facility in Missouri because he is refusing food and water.
