Transcribed from the clipping

TEL AVIV, Jan. 16 — Israeli Bedouins stabbed and stoned Government rangers in the Negev Sunday, the nature reserve authority reported today. A spokesman for the authority said one ranger was hospitalized and two Bedouin herdsmen were arrested.

She said two rangers patrolling the Negev on Sunday morning saw a herd of goats and sheep grazing on an army training range near the desert town of Arad. No herdsman was in sight and the rangers prepared to herd the animals out of the area, which is restricted. Suddenly a shower of rocks smashed the windshield of their jeep, the spokesman said.

One ranger chased the rock thrower, who, when overtaken, drew a knife and stabbed his pursuer in the leg. The second ranger, who remained in the jeep, was hit on the head by a rock thrown by the second Bedouin. The Israelis drove to Arad and reported to the police, who returned to the scene and made the arrests. The Bedouin owner of the herd was summoned to remove the animals.

How this transcription was made

Read from the scan by a machine looking at the image of the page, not by optical character recognition and not by a person. The clipping carries no masthead or date line, so its date and newspaper rest on the record it arrived with, not on anything visible in the scan.

Context added by this archive

Date check: No masthead or page date line survives — the clipping is trimmed to the two-line headline and five paragraphs, with rules above and below. The only internal date is the dateline, “TEL AVIV, Jan. 16”, consistent with a January 17, 1984 paper, but the date and the paper could not be confirmed from the page.
