The telegraph line was cut in three places between Tabriz and Jagin by a Jous-
dari named Ghulamshah Taju who has lately been residing with Khalifa Khair
Mahomed.
Early this month certain Khans and Headmen of Karwan and Jousdar/pre
sented themselves before the Assistant Superintendent of Telegraphs and sa'd
they were prepared to give assurances that the line would not be cut, and would
swear on the Koran and take other binding caths that no damage would be done in
future. As, however, reports were received of damage to the line at the same
time/the value of the Khans’ protestations was somewhat discounted.
In spite of the presence of the column the Jousdaris continued to damage the
lines. At first the column took little or no action owing to the difficulty of the
country encountered.
On January 14th certain Mirs of Karwan came in to the column. On beiug
asked to hand over the individuals who had been cutting the telegraph wires, tin y
replied that they were unable to. But they said that the man who caused the recent
interruptions was Ghulamshah Taju, formerly a ryot of Jousdar now resident
with “ Khalifa ” Khair Mohamed. They added that they would be quite willing
to lead the troops to the villages and date groves of the culprits, if the Government
was desirous of punishing them.
During the last week of the month during which the Assistant Superintendent
of Telegraphs and the line repairing party were busy at Rapchjhe escort marched
out to several of the Karwan villages, where the badmashes who constantly cut the
telegraph line reside. One of these gave himself up, and the huts of two or three
others were destroyed. Some demonstrations with .machine guns and bombs
were carried out which greatly impressed the Karwanis. At Gunjak another Lewis
and machine gun demonstration w T as carried out.
