Last Thursday a bedouin of the
Arhelhip tribe was found shot dead
• in the banana grove belonging to
the Migdal colonists. Knowing the •
excitable nature of bedouins the
Jewish colonists quickly began ne-
gotiations, with the assistance of
the Rosh I'inah settler, to prevent
a blood feud and a vendetta. The'
pourparlers were successful and
, the Migdal colonists undert'uok to
pay the relatives of the dead be-

The 1114 .7e0Mellt was sinsummated
at a neutral place just north of -
Migdal with quaintly picturesque
ore monies, with the Tiberias dis-
trict olliver, Monists from the lower
Catlike, shieks of the A rbelhip and
. other tribes present. The elders of
the tribe and the leaders of the
aligtial colony delivered speches of
welcome and the latter embraced
the relatives of the dead man. .
A tribal rod was then held be-
tween the colonists and the trib•s-
men and a silk handkerchief placed
over the rod. The Jews tied two
knots and the bedouins three in the
handkerchief. Then speaking to-
gether they said "by this we declare
that peace shall reign between us
from now until eternity." The sum
of $250 was then paid over to the
iteciouins, the balm' to be paid
within two months. To complete
the symbolical rites a sheep was
slaughtered, rice was cooked and all
parties to the peace treaty sat
around and partook of the feast.
