History of
Shibkuh,
1872-96,
Ahmad Khan himself, after he had made submission at Bushehr, as the
sole chief of Dashtistan,
In 1879 Tangistan came under the rule of a single authority, Haidar
Khan, on the expulsion of his first cousin ^li Khan, who had disputed
the government with him. A rebellion against Haidar Khan's authority
seems to have occurred in 1893; and the insurgents, who were armed
with Martini rifles, succeeded in repelling an attack made on them by
the Khan in conjunction with Persian troops and a gun from Bushehr.
On the occasion of the Ihtisham-ud-Dauleh's first visit to Bushehr
in 1877 the chief of Dashti, Haidar Khan, who had not paid his respects
to the Persian authorities for a number of years, thought it advisable to
wait on the Prince there; and the latter, when he left Bushehr, made
a tour in Dashti and remained in the district for some time. In the
following year Haidar Khan preferred to make a journey to Shiraz,
whence he had received assurances of pardon for past misdeeds, rather
than to trust himself again in the power of the Prince-G-overnor at
Bushehr; but he died at Shiraz, and the accident was commonly ascribed
to his having partaken of Shurbeh-i-Qajari" or Qajar broth, in other
words to his having been poisoned. His brother Muhammad Khan,
who had in the meanwhile visited the Ihtisham-ud-Dauleh, was
appointed ruler of Dashti in his stead; and the
Prince-Governor
A Prince of the Royal line who also acted as Governor of a large Iranian province during the Qājār period (1794-1925).

more returned to Shiraz by way of Dashti. In 1879 there were local
disturbances in Dashti, incident on the collection of the revenue; and in
June 1881 Muhammad Khan died at Bushehr, where he had been
imprisoned on account of arrears alleged to be due by him to the
Government. He was succeeded by his nephew Jamal Khan, a son of
Haidar Khan. In July 1884 a fracas occurred at Bushehr between
Persian soldiers and some Dashtis who had come to town with a widow
of Muhammad Khan, the late chief, and several lives were lost. In 1B87
Jamal Khan appeared at Bushehr in the train of the Nasir-ul- Mulk,
on the latter s short-lived resumption of his Government. Dashti was
one of the districts of which the charge devolved, on the departure of
Prince Nauzar Mirza in 1889 ; on Sartip Muhammad Hasan Khan;
and, like Dashtistan, it was at the time disturbed by feuds.
In Shibkuh, during this period, interest centred chiefly in the ex
ploits and tragic end of Shaikh Mazkur of Kangun. This chief was,
about 1877, arrested and sent to Shiraz; but, his successor Mahammad
Hasan Khan having failed to give satisfaction, he was reinstated on

return home, helped by Hamad-bin-Isma^l, the ^Obaidli Shaikh of
