Medina during which the sons of Hamud bin Obeid quarrelled
among themselves Zamil brought the boy back to Hail and
established one again the rule of the Ibn Hashid family
with himself as the guardain and ’de facto* ruler during
the boy's minority and his cousin Saleh ibn Sebhan as
Measurero Th$i^ rule endured until sometime in 1913 9 when
the boy having reached man's estate (he is now about 20
years of age) Zamil ibn Sebhan withdrew from active
government which passed into the hands of the young Amir*
At the same time Zamil was much respected and liked by the
whole Sharamar tribe for his just and generous rule, while
the boy Amir is described as capricious and even perhaps
not cuite sane. At all events the Shammar tribe, without
whom the ruler of Hail is helpless, desired that Zamil
should be definitely the Amir,
This was naturally resented by the young Amir although
Zamil had more than once refused the honour; the young Amir
Saud bin Abdul Aziz had for his bosom friend Saud as^Saleh
ibn Sebhan, a lad of his own age (about) and it appears
that these two came to the conclusion that the only way in
which to obtain the support of the entire Shammar tribe
was to remove Zemil and, so to speak his cliaue. With this
end in view ? one morning (about the 10th April) after Ibn
Rashid had successfully raided the Thaffir and Badur tribes
near Abu Ghar, a slave rode up behind Zamil and shot him in
the back as all the Sheikhs were on the march to a new
camp. Sebhan and All (brother of Zarail) seeing whet had
happened jumped on to their mares and fled, but were
rounded up with their slaves by other slaves of Ibn Rashid's
entourage s brought back and cut down with swords. Meanwhile
it is reported, that Baud bin Abdul Aziz the Amir and Saud
as-Saleh went on riding without taking any particular notice
of the tragedy being enacted. The crime was execrated by
every Arab whom I met and it was considered impuobable that
the Shammar tribe would follow the young Amir after it if
any member of the Ibn Sefehan family chose to call upon them
