Lawrence Doble Services at 10 a.m. Friday at the Sattleback Reo Church, Mission Vajeo, Calif. LOMBARD, 111 George M. So when the FBI finally and ''finally" is the word everyone uses moved against them Monday, the overwhelming reaction here was relief "Particularly when we found out they had caught two of the ringleaders. Great relief, that the beginning of the end may be at hand," said rancher Cecil Weeding, whose two brothers-in-law are holed up inside.

At a community hall meeting Wednesday, about three dozen ranchers, some still wearing muddy coveralls smeared with blood from their calving barns, delivered a blunt message to outside militia groups that want to join the standoff: You are not wanted or welcome. The Winona Stat University College of Education announces that the WSU Nursery School is now enrolling for the 1996-97 school year. The nursery school is accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs. The school has two sessions, each meeting from a.m. The first session meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the other meets Tuesday and Thursday.

Learn the keys to babysitting The Super Sitter's Babysitting Course will be held Friday from 9 a -3 p.m. at the YMCA. The course is especially designed for the first-time baby sitter, ages 10-13.

The topics covered will be basic care of children, general supervision tips and emergency care, including basic first-aid and CPR. All participants will be awarded a certificate of accomplishment at the completion of the workshop. There will be a 45-minute lunch break and participants are welcome to bring a sack lunch. The cost is $10 for YMCA members and $16 for nonmembers. Nonmembers must also purchase a day pass.

LeRoy Schweitzer and Daniel Petersen were arrested Monday and jailed. Abo, in Southern California, a U.S. Attorney asked for a restraining order Wednesday forbidding three people from teach- a seminars on check-writing mes similar to the kind used by the freemen. One woman named in the motion reportedly was trained by Schweitzer at the compound. Schweitzer, Petersen and others also face state charges of criminal syndicalism, or advocating violence for political aims.

The federal indictment was issued last May, and many of the individuals were wanted on state charges up to a year earlier. But authorities had held off making arrests for fear of another bloody confrontation like the 1992 standoff at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, or the cult disaster near Waco, Texas, a year later. Abortion From page 1A daughter last year, called the procedure "medicalized infanticide." The doctor "partially delivers a live child before killing it," she said. The vote capped an emotional struggle that consumed several months as the bill moved from the House to the Senate and back again. On the final roll call, 214 Republicans and 72 Democrats were in favor of the measure.

Opposed were 113 Democrats, 15 Re- publicans and one independent. White House officials have previously threatened a veto, and spokesman Michael McCurry said during the day there had been no change in the president's position. In a letter to key lawmakers late last month, the president said he had "studied and prayed" on the subject, and wanted the bill changed to allow exemptions designed "to preserve the life of the woman or avert serious health consequences to the woman." ncKjn l.
