Nation IN BRIEF : IDAHO : Fugitive Surrounded After Fatal Shooting

Scores of federal agents and police poured into northern Idaho to surround the remote cabin of a fugitive white supremacist after a U.S. marshal was fatally shot. Six marshals were fired at a day earlier as they watched the fortress-like cabin of Randy Weaver, who has lived there with his wife and four children since February, 1991, when he failed to appear for trial on weapons charges. A negotiation team was called to the area atop Ruby Ridge, about 40 miles south of the Canadian border, but authorities were not immediately able to contact Weaver because he has no telephone.
