At tlie end of July a fight was reported to have taken place at Dabi
Kand near Minab between Mir Barkat and the men of the Minab assisted by
some of the South Persia ivifles. It is said that the Persians were defeated in
the fiffht and a gun and ammunition (afterwards returned), and some military
stores fell into Mir Barkat's hands. His Excellency the Darya Begi came to
Biyahan with some troops and a settlement was eventually arrived at. Mir
Barkat then paid the major portion of the taxes and complied with the con
ditions of Parya BegL He was reappointed Zabit of Biyaban by the Persian
Government.

Early in October Sirdar Islam Khan left Bint for Kasserkund. At
Surkboor he was shot dead by some men of Sahib Khan's. He had halted to
say his prayers and had allowed his following to go on and was shot in the
act of remounting his horse. Islam Khan was married to a sister of Mir
Barkat and had a son Nabi Bukhsh by her. Yahya Khan the eldest son of
Islam Khan, sent his brothers Ayub Khan, and Nabi Bukhsh to Mir Barkat
