when the whole force was withdrawn from Mamasanni and hurried back
to Shiraz, the military had failed to get the better of Imam Quli Khan, who
remained unsubdued in his forts and villages.
The impression on the tribal chiefs was not long in manifesting itself.
Already at the end of October the blood-feud between the Angali Khans
and Aqa Khan of Shabankareh had broken out on the coast-plain (though
this is properly no longer part of Ears), and on the 31st December the Zabit
of Tan o 'istan was attacked by a local headman at the head of a party and
killed. ° North of Shiraz in Baiza district in November the Boir Ahmedi
outlaw Mir Ghulam (see report for year ending March 1928) had plundered
two villages, and had the effrontery to give a signed receipt for the “land
revenue” he had taken, while further depredations took place in other
northern districts.
But it was in the Firuzabad region and districts round, where disorder
became most pronounced- A new military governor of the Qashqai on his
way there in November had to leave his baggage route, on account of
risk of robbery By January Mahdi, leader of the ,Surkhi tribe, with a
band of several hundred men made up chiefly from small Qashqai clans,
carried off a caravan for Maimand and blockaded another military official in
a village of Khwajai district.
On the 4 th March AH Khan Qashqai (half-brother of Saulat-ud-
Dauleh), who had left his village near Adadeh in north Ears and joined the
Qashqai in their winterquarters, ostensibly with Saulat’s connivance, some
months before, was announced to be at the head of various elements, which
declared they would no longer tolerate military governors and would not go
on the northern migration in the spring (when, according to talk, there had
been an intention by the government authorities to number and tax the
Qashqai flocks, as well as to settle these nomads in villages.) With a
large following he had arrived in Firuzabad district and was liberally
distributing Saulat’s stores of grain. On the 10 th a band of 60 Surkhis
carried off flocks from Lapui and Dudeh, villages near Zarqan on the Isfa
han road, and from Kalat northwest of Shiraz driving them back across the
main motor road, 8 miles from Zinian, in open daylight on the 14th. On
the 12 th four separate villages in Kawar district had flocks carried off, or
were raided : and on the 13th there was much excitement in Shiraz town at
rumours that the insurgents were only 12 miles away and were drawing
near Shiraz several hundred strong. Lorries were requisitioned : parties of
conscripts from Isfahan (there were not more than 50 regular soldiers in
Shiraz from January till mid March) were sent in the night to posts com
manding the town. Simultaneously the Governor-General was recalled to
town, and Saitip Abul Hasan Khan arrived to take over the districts and
tribes hitherto under the jurisdiction of Qawam-ul-Mulk. In such a
troubled situation the troops hurried back from Mamasanni, the cavalry by a
forced march, the infantry arriving on the 20 th March 1929-
During March too the situation in Jahrum district, 100 miles south
east of Shiraz, was compromised. The Governor arrested a Jarkani
Qashqai : the latter’s brother, a notorious freebooter named Keiamars,
stopped motorcars on the Shiraz-Jahrum road, held the occupants as host
ages till the Jarkani in Jahrum had been released, then went off plundering
a village near. On the 22nd a riot took place in this town over the wearing
of 1 ahlawi caps, one Amnieh guard being killed and four townsmen.
Hurriedly 100 infantry had to be sent out. Sartip Abul Hasan Khan has
asked for 300 soldiers to be given him before he starts from Shiraz for Fas&
and Lar.
1 urther incidents in this year of deteriorating security were : the
closing of the bazars, in protest at the calling up of youths of age to be con
scripted, from the 5th to 9th October, and a riot outside mosques leading
00 Pf on the crowd. By the end of March 1929 however out
