Telegrams were sent to Tehran and the people, in accord for ono
determined on action. e '
The Governor sent a message to Salar-i-ikbal saying that the Sartin—
who had been sent out of the town—must be given up. Ail that this resulted
in was an impertinent reply. The Deputy-Governor then sent telling him
that the situation was serious. This, Salar-i-ikbal secure in the strength of
his sowars, was unable to understand and sent a second rude reply. Azam-ud-
dowleh then gave orders that the son of the Kalhor chief was to be seized
and imprisoned. The latter, who was in a strong position in the house of
Amin-ul-mamalek, the Kalhor agent, opened fire. He had, however, under
estimated the fact that the blood of the people was up and indeed' he had
every right to consider their spirit a negligable quality, but on this occasion
he was wrong and he was besieged with great vigour on the 18th October.
Salar-i-ikbal succeeded in defending himself for the day with some loss
including one of the chief Khans of the Kalhor tribe. Khan Baba Khan
Shiani. _ It is very possible that Salar-i-lkbal took the opportunity to kill the
Khan himself, since he was getting too powerful for Daud Khan to be able
to coerce.
The Kalhor party had, however, laid in no provisions, and the following
day they thought it wiser to surrender on the proviso that the Mujtahids
of the town swore on the Koran that no injury should be done him, Salar-i-
ikbal agreed to pay all arrears of revenue and to have Muhammad Ali
returned to his family. These terms were acceded to on the understanding
that they only held provided the Kalhor tribe gave no further ground for
complaint in the interim.
The following day there was a small fight between sowars of the Kalhor
tribe and some of the^ Sinj abis who had been called in to support the town.
The Kalhors were with the assistance of the townspeople beaten oft' with
the loss of a few men on the Kalhor side.
During these affrays, a considerable number of bullets were flying about,
Consi l late 0 ffi ce was struck*, bullets fell in the garden and the Eussian
and lurkish Consulates and also the Russian Doctor's house were hit.
Daud Khan was extremely angry with his son for his foolishness, but
he came to within one march of Mahidasht and settled the matter by paying
up his revenue with arrears and leaving a younger son as hostage in place of
balar-i-ikbal. Had this hostage been kept, it would have been well but,
unfortunately, Zahir-ul-mulk returned to the town and immediately released
him, presumably thinking it was wiser to be content with the money he had
got, for he knows it would not be wise for him to be permanently on bad
terms with the
