The precise origin of the name Cats

But there is scant authority or reason
for this assumption. The name is found
spelled in numerous ways in the ancient
records. such as "kaatskills.' "kaaters-

called the mountains "Ontiora," meaning

sheikhs OF some OF the tribes by the government
kept them quiet. But recently Rizza Pasha.

This led the Bedouns to attack the railway sta,

The troubles at Karak were preciptated by an
attempt Of the government to enroll the Bedouins
and disarm them. This applied not only to the
Nomadic tribes but to the towns people and vii
layers, many OF whom are Christians An incident
illustrative of how this operates occurred the other
day at Es Salt. on the other side Of the Jordan A
member Of a wealthy Christian family of the town

and necessary in this parts, he was armed. A
Turkish officer with few soldiers attempted to
disarm him and take his rifle resulting in his
shooting and killing the officer and in he and his
men being at once shot by the soldiers. His broth
er was apprehended and taken to Damascus.
1t seems premature to attempt to disarm the
people of these towns and villages that are ex-
posed to the attacks of the Bedouin, and in seek
ing to do so the government is facing difficulty
with which it will be hard to cope.
It is thought the government will be able to
put down the present uprising without much de
