MARTY DYE Freemen sympathizers rallying support JORDAN, Mont.

(AP) As the Freemen standoff with federal agents moved into a second week, sympathizers of the militant anti-government group were rallying support from a distance. Heeding the advice of federal authorities and militia leaders to stay away from the wheat farm where the Freemen are holed up, the Idaho-based Freemen Patriots instead planned to rally today in Lewistown, a town roughly 120 miles to the west. "We want to let everybody know these people aren't alone," said organizer Chad Erickson of Kamiah, Idaho. "Many people think like they do." Lewistown was selected, Erickson said, because it is far enough away from the standoff that law enforcement officials won't be unduly concerned. FBI agents have twice stopped a pair of sympathizers trying to reach the compound.

The Washington Post reported Sunday that the FBI was considering an offer from white separatist Randy Weaver to mediate an end to the standoff. Weaver's wife and son were killed by federal agents in a 1992 shootout at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. But Sen. Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, urged Weaver and outside militia groups to stay home and let officials here try to resolve the situation peacefully. People like Weaver tend to create division and "probably are going to create more problems than they are going to solve," Baucus said on CBS's "Face the Nation." The Freemen, who have named their 960-acre compound "Justus Township," deny the legitimacy of the government and have set up their own laws and their own courts.

Neighbors said the group has built bunkers and openly stockpiled food, fuel and weapons possibly including military armaments. The compound has been surrounded by more than 100 FBI agents since March 25, when LeRoy Schweitzer and Daniel Petersen two Freemen leaders, were arrested. A third member of the group, Richard E. Clark, surrendered Saturday. Authorities won't say how many people are still at the farm, but 14 of them are believed to be wanted on various state and federal charges.

A militia leader urged outsiders to stay away and pleaded with the Freemen to surrender and face an established court. "Stay home, and let the negotiators and the people on the site handle this problem, so we don't have a Waco or a Ruby Ridge," said John Parsons of the Tri-States Militia of South Dakota. "The key thing here is that we need a peaceful solution to this problem. They need to come out and face their forum in a court of law and state their problems in a court of law under a system that is just," Parsons said Sunday on ABC's "This Week With David Brinkley." Schweitzer and Petersen were charged with threatening public officials and millions of dollars worth of bank, financial and mail fraud. No court appearance was scheduled for Clark; jailers said he refused to be fingerprinted or photographed and would not speak.

Surviving, in addition to his parents of the home, are two brothers, Ernest Dye of Phoenix, and Roy Freeman of Hodges; four sisters, Wanda Smiley and Cynthia Dye, both of Hodges, Sandra Freeman of Greenwood and Linda Brown of Bradley. Services will be Tuesday at 2 p.m. at Springfield Baptist Church in Edgefield with the Rev. Barry Caldwell officiating. Burial will be in Calvary Grove Baptist Church Cemetery.

The body will be placed in the dhurch at 1 pjn.

The State Attorney General's Office has charged Georgetta Wig-gleton with allegedly submitting Atlantis returns to earth EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) Backed by a brilliant desert sunrise, Atlantis glided safely back to Earth after a rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir.

"It sure feels good to be home," flight commander Kevin Chilton said Sunday at the end of the nine-day, 3.8 million-mile mission. For two days, thick, low clouds over Florida prevented the shuttle from landing at Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle almost had to land anyway when its cargo-bay doors would not open in orbit to dispel heat from electronic equipment. NASA was prepared to order an emergency landing Saturday if the problem had continued 10 more minutes, but the two doors finally swung open and the shuttle was able to remain safely in orbit. The mission marked the third docking with Mir and the first Six.
