of hyed Khan's affairs, tins district was divided. From Lund to the Bandbd
Korge he transferred to his own. side and from Bandini gorge to West of the
ruor Bir Husam Khan was allowed to retain administration and collect revenue
personally. Since Islam Khan's death there has been a dispute about thfs d^vi
won and Husam Khan has all along disputed Nagdi Khan's claims but was not
aWeto do anything iii tlie matter until this year when with the help of his father-
in-law, Sjrdar Dost Mohamed he was able to get a portion of his share. Do^t
Muhamed Khan with a considerable force attacked Fanuch and took the fort
and then threatened Bint if he chiefs responsible for that district did not give

Husam Khan) then came to Bandini took whatever he could personally and
.ictnrned to Gaih from Bxr river. He has fallen oitf with Mir Yahya Khan and
now recognises Nagdi Khan as the chief of the district from Malikani Cheda-h
up to Bint and down to the Lund valley where the source of the Lund rivpr
begins During our halt at Rapch all the Bint chiefs called, i^,-Nagdi Khan
Ayub Khan, Mohamed Ah Khan and Mir Nabi Bukhsh Khan. Tliey all seemed
very inendly and offered assistance. Nagdi Khan complained of" receiving no
subsidy and the grievance he was labouring under was that though head of the
whole district, the British Government did not recognise him as siich. 1 assured
him that if his statement was correct the matter would be represented and
arranged accordingly but he must at special request hand me over the men who
were responsible for firing into our camp at Surag and also the man responsible
tor cutting the line between Sadaich-Surag section. He agreed and ordered Mir
Ayuo Khan and Mohamed Ali Khan, to proceed to the ^ene of interruption
i rom reliable authorities I understand that the culprits are a gang headed bv
son of Haji Hoti and relatives. It has also been stated- that a blood feud exists
between the relatives of Haji Hoti and the sons of Islam Khan. Nagdi Khan and
Ayub Khan offered to kill the man for cutting the line but I did not approve df
this. The petty subsidised headmen of Eapch district also called to receive a
present and their half-yearly subsidy. As tliey have given us absolutely
no assistance during the year, I refused to interview them, have given them no
presents and have already recommended by wire to have their subsidies |ield.
Mohamed Ali Khan has been paid a present of Rs. 75 for assisting in restor
ing communication. I am of opinion that the only way to solve the problem in
me present unsatisfactory political situation in the Karwan district is to officiallv
recognise Nagdi Khan as the stronger chief and pay him a subsidy. The Gov -
ermnent will not Be put to any extra expenditure because I can recommend that
