1039. Condition of Uoads, Telegraph and Postal Service. [Shiraz
Poad). The whole tract between and inclusive of the Orchini Pass and the
Tars frontier is subject to incursions of Kuhgiluis at times on a large scale
Thus on or about 27th September at Qalaa Shour 300 to 700 sheep and a
number of donkeys, property of Azizullah Khan, the contractor for the
southern gari service, were carried off. About the same date a caravan was
attacked at the Ah amhar on the Orchini Pass and the telegraph line
wilfully damaged. Marg, the first stage on the road to Shiraz, is reported
deserted.
The Ahadeh road appears to be temporarily clear but subject at any
moment to raids by tribesmen. Thus on 29th September the Indo-European
Telegraph Department signaller telegraphed : “ Chapar from Ispahan, who was
delayed at Aminabad for two days, reports about 800 Kuhgiluis were at
Aliabad (close to Aminabad) preparing to go in different directions when
Kosid from Qobad arrived with message telling them to return sharp as
there was a fight between Kuhgiluis and Boir Ahmadis. At this they at once
left. Koad Aminabad to Abadeh clear now. iV.I?.—Kosid from Qobad had
letter for Kadkhoda Yezdfi-Khast who sent men and told Kuhgiluis to
return.”
1040. Posts. —The post which came in on 21st September bringing three
mails from Shiraz and letters from Ahwaz reports the road as far as Abadeh
as had as it could he. Erom that point to Mahyar less bad but subject to
attacks from Kashgais and other tribesmen. Attacks at or near the Orchini
are attributed to the local guards rather than to tribesmen.
1041. Ahwaz Poad. —No further reports have been received from Mirza
Eazlullah Khan. Bazaar rumour has it that a large body of Kuhgiluis was
massed at Balutak bridge waiting to give battle to the Bakhtiaris.
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Ashjaa on 21st September, in reply to enquiries from Mr. Grahame, stated
that men of Muntazzim-ed-Dowleh and Salar-i-Ashraf had just brought news
that the Bakhtiari tribesmen had been on the point of moving to the Garmsir,
but by order of the Khans had been delayed in order to guarantee the security
of the road; that special sowars had been appointed to maintain order and
this might be expected shortly, thus permitting Mirza Eazlullah Khan to
return thoroughly reassured 1

Kangoon and compelled Ahmed Khan, nephew of Jamal Khan, who had
failed to pay up the revenue, to give up that port to Shaikh Hatem.
