Remarks.
A pleasant man to deal with, his
followers obey him; no trouble at all
with the tribe.
These three are recognised as the leading
Zubaid personalities in the district.
Mizhar, uncle of ‘Ajil, remained in
Jazirah with 'Ajil for first year after
occupation, but broke with him when
he decided to join the Turks, and
came on to us. Was fined Rs. 3,000
and guarantee taken for good behav
iour. Has since shown himself anx
ious to assist Government, and been
helpful in settling tribal disputes.
Faisal has strong character and con
siderable influence amongst the
Zubaid sections; of pleasant and
retiring disposition, but have found
him unbiassed and truthful and sound.
Haji Khalaf, strong character and very
religious (not fanatical); very sound
on any matters in which he has no
interests or any personal feelings with
either party concerned in dispute,
otherwise inclined to let his feelings
overrule his judgment. Is striving to
be recognised as paramount Shaikh
now ‘Ajil is out.
During the long outstanding feud
between Juwasihat and Bani ‘Ajil,
Zambur was unable to return here
until two months ago, when an
amicable settlement w r as reached.
During first 12 months after occupation
received subsidy from Government
for undertaking protection of Sairah
town. Plenty of character, truthful
and sound. Keeps his tribe well in
hand. Bitter enemy of ‘Umran al
Zanbur of Bani ‘Ajil.
A man of retiring nature.
Smart young man, keeps his section well
in hand.
Retiring nature, leaves everything to be
done by the above two.
Of moderate intelligence; keep their
men well in hand.
Hardworking and enforces obedience.
A young man, his father died last year;
well liked by his men.
