qhuelitar Mianab have been received. Further north, fiowaro of
the Chenaneh are reported to have sacked Buneh safar, one id
of the outlying villages of Daiincheh; thip raid i.« said to have
been retaliation against the Kalantari-farnily, one of whom had
taken the Officer Commanding Gendarmerie into Chenaneh territory
in search of stolen cattle. The American*are reported by Lieut-
Colonel Noel to have arrested sheikh Alwan as the road in his
area had been the scene of a series of thefts.
(43) Late reports state that Colonel Hurnayuni has addressed
letters to Barrak, chief of the Bavi, and to five other leading
sheikhs, stating that he is satisfied that they are u supporting”
Jabbar, and that unless Jabbar is brought in within the fortnight
they themselves will be imprisoned.
(44) Cehnaneh Arabs raided Kushkak, a village on the Karun
north of ehushtar, at the beginning of the month, and drove off
sixteen buffaloes. As the raiders had at leapt twenty farsakhs of
’’foreign” territory to pass through, the success of the raid
argues a high degree of local cooperation,

(45) The fortnight under report has been distinguished by
the absence of sniping or hold-ups on railway or road.

(46) In Dizful the elections have been completed and although
the results have not been announced it is common knowledge that
Amir Jang has been successful.
(47) In the Ahwaz-nhushtar-RamHormuz constituency the anjuman-i
nuzzar was constituted on 12th October, ^.adeq Bushiri and Dr.
Jezairi are reported to have withdrawn from the contest and as
Aghai Khajavi apparently made no objection to Aghai Nasseri
accompanying the Governor-General’s party to ^huphtar it seems
that Aghai Xhajavi too has decided not to stand. (Dr. Ali Abadi,
the Hamrahan candidate, stated that it was only the company that
he was in that prevented Aghai Nasseri being stoned on his
arrival in ^hushtar.)
(48) The fate of the Dasht-i-i/Iishan constituency is still
undecided, Aghai Neqabat professes to find it inconsistent with
cept hi« dignity to stand anywhere/in his own constituency of Khorram-
shahr and indeed his chances would seem to be better there than in
Dasht-i-Mishan. Rais-ut-Tujjar, though formerly extremely preo
ccupied with tribal affairs in Behbahan, arrived in Ahwaz on
14th October and will stand if not discouraged.
(49) The Behbahan ke elections, according to the Governor-
General, av/ait only the arrival of a civil governor.
