ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE PERSIAN GULP POLITICAL
RESIDENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
FOR 1909. 35
Islam Khan is now anxious to come to terms with

Seyyed Khan, and
that he has written to Mir Mustapha Khan asking him to intervene.
Early in July 1909 information was received to the effect that Bahram
Khan of Dizak had again attacked Bampur with a strong following and
had taken possession of the Fahraj Fort.
Sardar

Seyyed Khan joined Bahram
Khan and appears to have taken possession of the town of Bampur. Many
camels and a considerable amount of grain was looted and removed to Dizak
and Gaih.
Sirgan Sub-District. —Mir Wali Muhammad, headman of Sirgan Sub-
district, died on the 9th August 1909, and was succeeded by his brother Mir
Nazar Muhammad, with effect from 1st July 1909.
Bir Sub-District. —Fourteen insulators were broken by Afghan followers
of Dur Muhammad Khan, brother of Khalifa Khair Muhammad, in the Bir
district, during December 1909. The telegraph line was also cut near Bir
river, on the 8th January 1910, by a party of Afghan gun runners. Mir
Sahib Khan of Bir did what he could to prevent any recurrence of damage to
the telegraph line, but I regret to say Mir Sheroo of Bir took no steps what
ever in the matter.
Slave Traffic. —Five cases of slave dealing came to notice during the
year.
Mir Mahmood Khan and Mir Din Muhammad have not been friendly
_ ,, . ^ , during the year. The latter is still very
as yan is nc . young and he has bad advisers who were
formerly employed by his father, Mir Abdi. On the 20th January 1909,
Mir Din Muhammad's followers killed the wife of a British Indian subject.
The case was reported to the Clerk in Charge, Charbar. On the same day
Din Muhammad's men looted the house of one of my linemen named Siaho.
Of this I have made a special report to the Director and recommended that
Mir Din Muhammad's subsidy should be withheld for a period of one year,
or stopped altogether and paid to Mir Mahmood Khan.
On the 18th November 1909, Mir

men in the Gwettur Fort.

Khan's men. At this time Mir Ahmed Khan was in Karachi. He
arrived at Gwadur soon after the affair started and took passage in a native
boat to Bris where he landed and proceeded to Dashtyari to collect a follow

Khan was eventually
persuaded to withdraw, and since then no trouble has occurred. When the
fight commenced the inhabitants of Gwettur left for Gwadur and Charbar,
the town has been practically deserted since then.
The rainfall has been particularly good, the coming year should, there-
