the two factions, into which the Khans of Shushtar are divided, coupled with
the fact that the Governor-General, Arabistan, Haji Fakhr-ul-Muik, who
resides in Shushtar is absolutely powerless to hold them in check. An out
break occurred in February, subsequent on which affairs went from had to
worse, till the matter came to a head over the question of the right of various
of the Khans to lease certain watermills and the Gotwand perry, mohallas
(quarters) were barricaded and street-fighting became the order of the day,
in which many casualties occurred. The Governor-General, being powerless
to cope with the situation, the Shaikh of Mohammerah summoned the various
heads of mohallas to Mohammerah, subsequent on which there was a cessation
of hostilities. Immediately on their return, however, from Mohammerah,
fresh trouble broke out, which ended in Shaikh Khazal of Mohammerah
receiving orders from Tehran to put a stop to the trouble, by force of arms if
necessary. The Shaikh of Mohammerah collected a force, in August, encam
ped at Bend-i-Kir, some 28 miles south of Shushtar, summoned the headmen
and Khans of Shushtar, settled the matter and banished Shaikh Murteza,
who is a notorious rogue—since when Shushtar has enjoyed comparative
tranquillity.
In connection with the above troubles, in July, neither Messrs. Lynch
Brothers' boat the S. S. " Shushan " nor the Nasiri Company's boat the S. S.
" Muavin " were able to go to Shushtar for about a fortnight.
In January, trouble occurred in the Hussainabad lands, situate in the
Dizful district. Shaikh Hyder of the El Kathir attacked and looted Shaikh
Khurrabit of the same tribe, taking Shaikh Khurrabit himself prisoner, after
which he crossed the Karkha river and camped on the further side. Shaikh
Farhan Assad also of the El Kathir, assisted by Shaikh Nassi of the Chab-i-
Dubais immediately followed up and attacked Shaikh Hyder, who however
escaped. Later, at the end of April, Shaikh Hyder made his peace with the
Shaikh of Mohanimerah, who is his over-lord, and Shaikh Khurrabit was
restored to freedom. In May Shaikh Flyder, on being ordered by the Shaikh
of Mohammerah to pay a large sum in cash and kind, which he owed to Shaikh
Gadzban of the Bani Lam, again became " Yaghi " (rebellious) and took
refuge with the Sagwand. Finding however thajt they would not support
him, he " crawled in " in June and paid up.
Shaikh Farhan Assad's rebellion against the Shaikh of Mohammerah's
authority, subsequent on Bakhtiari instigation, has been elsewhere dealt with.
