Kuhgilu. —At the commencement of the year Bahadur-i-Diwan was
Deputy Governor of Behbehan. On the arrival of Nizam-es-Sultaneh at
Shiraz he nominated Yamin-es-Sultaneh for the post, the latter taking up his
duties in February. His arrival was the signal for disturbances in the
town due to the intrigues of Bahadur-i-Diwan who desired by this means -to
disgust the Yamin with his charge, and hoped that he would ask for per
mission to resign and that he himself would be re-appointed to the Deputy
Governorship of the town. The Nizam-es-Sultaneh, seeing that the Yamin
was incapable of restoring order, recalled him and appointed the Commander
of the troops, which had accompanied him from Shiraz, to take over the
Governorship in his place.
In October, when the Nizam-es-Sultaneh was dismissed, the Bahadur-i-
Diwan resumed the Governorship.
In October, Amir Mujahid (Yusuf Khan), Bakhtiari, was nominated for
the Deputy Governorship and he deputed Khuda Karam Khan and Mahmud
Khan to proceed to Behbehan and officiate for him until his arrival. These
two minor Khans got as far as Ram Hormuz but lack of funds prevented
them from proceeding further. After waiting there for some weeks and
communicating with Amir Mujahid by telegraph they returned to their
homes. Amir Mujahid had not taken over his appointment by the close of
the year, Bahadur-i-Diwan continuing as nominal Deputy Governor.
