and gave up Ilbegi ship September 1920. Remained
hostile to Soulat-ud-Douleh in the vicinity of Mayin
and Marvdasht with a .following which gradually grew
smaller in 1921, but was financed both by the
Governor-General, Nusrat-us-Sultaneh, and Qawam-
ul-Mulk, in order to neutralise and weaken Soulat-
ud-Douleh’s power in the tribe. In May 1922, when
latter was camped 8 miles from Shiraz Ali Khan with
assistance of some Dareh-shuri and Kashkuli chiefs
