Persian operations becoming known. In October 1891 Anafijeh
tribesmen attacked a caravan near Shushtar and carried off some rifles j
but Shaikh Farhan, on whom they depended, made his peace with the
Government; and thereafter an improvement was noticeable in the state
o£ the surrounding country, which had been seriously disturbed. In
189^ there was a partial failure of crops, which, aided by the weakness
of the Shahab-ul-Mulk's administration, caused raids by Bani Turuf in the
neighbourhood of Ahwaz and by Sagward Lurs on the Dizful-Shushtar
road. In 1894 the Dizful-Khurramabad road became unsafe for caravans,
and the Hisam-us-Saltanah resorted to military operations against the
Dirakwand Lurs, in which he was assisted by some of the Bakhtiyaris,
In May a number of the Dirakwand were captured and deported, but the
road remained impassable; feuds broke out among the Bakhtiyaris them
selves ; and the security of the Dizful-Shushtar road also was affected.
In 1895-96 the A1 Kathir committed raids in the vicinity of Dizful, in
revenge for the alienation of lands which they claimed, and a punitive
expedition against them became necessary; while the Lur tribes were
guilty of such depredations as to cause many settled villages to be
deserted by their inhabitants.
Affairs of the Ramuz district, 1848-1896.
About the year 1879 the district of Ramuz was farmed, by the
Persian Government, sometimes to a member of the Shaikh of
Muhammareh^s family, sometimes to one of the Bakhtiyari Khans.
The district was assessed by the Persian Government in 1883-84 at
140,000 Qrans.
In or about 1888 a rebellion took place at Ramuz, which resulted in
the ejectment of a Local Governor appointed by the Persian authorities
and in the setting up of another by the people themselves. The
Nizam-us-Saltaneh confirmed the popular candidate, after exacting
increased Pishkash from him.
Affairs of the Hawizeh district, 1848-1896.
Hawizeh was a district over which, on account of its marshy
character, the Persian Government could exercise but little control; and
great care was required on their part in appointing a local governor,
as revenue could not be recovered from the inhabitants except through
an authority approved by them.
