C hahkutah and T ul-i -S iah.
With Chahkutah and its surrounding villages is now included Ahmedi,
which was formerly a separate entity owned by the family, of which
the Telegraph ghulams, Mullah Abdullah and Agha Muhammad Quli,
are now the representatives, Agha Mustapha Bahmiar of Chogadak and Tul-i-
Siah being a near relation. Shaikh Hussein of Chahkutah ejected them many
years ago, but has had a hard struggle to retain' Ahmedi the importance of
which arises from its position as the first stage on the caravan route. Tul-i-
Siah and Chogadak occupy a vague position: Shaikh Hussein Khan of Chah
kutah considers himself the suzerain, but Agha Haidar, the Zabit of Chogadak,
and his brothers pay revenue independently to the Governor of the Gulf Ports,
and similarly collect road exactions at Chogadak. Agha Haidar has, however,
always assisted Shaikh Hussein in his quarrels, and looks to him for support.
The Zabit of Tul-i-Siah also claims the villages of Ali Changi and Gurak on the
borders of Tangistan, but these are now managed by the ruler of Tangistan,
The boundaries of Chahkutah and Chogadak are on the—
North-West : Between Husseinaki and Hassandun in Angali,
North : Between Husseinaki and Isawand in Borazjun, between Isawand in
Borazjun and Ab-i-Tawil : between Tul-Ashki and Bulferiz in Tangistan.
East : Between Chahkutah and Samal in Tangistan.
South : Chahkutah and Chah-i-Pir in Tangistan ; between Chogadak and
Buneh-Giz and Gurak in Tangistan.
West : The district extends into the Mashilleh between Chogadak and the
mainland of Bushire.
The following villages may be considered as part of the district ; —
Chahkutah. Tul-Ashki.
Ahmedj. Konarabadi.
Husseinaki, Chogadak.
P^waireh. Tul -ri -Siah.

Chogadak and f ul-i-Siah 75° : the Khan's revenue is derived from taxation of
cultivated land, and also from rahdari and alafi from caravans passing Ahmedi.
Chahkutah and the nearest villages have been for generations in this family,
which boasts Arab descent. The present ruler, Shaikh Hussein, has been
constantly at war during the past few years. His brothers Shaikh Ali,
Mohammed and Abdullah united to force him to share their father's villages with
them : and they were for years in sanctuary in Borazjun and Angali. Sheikh Ali
was killed in a quarrel by Shaikh Hussein in 1911: Sheikhs Mohammed and
Abdullah raised a revolt in 1911 and were joined by Zair Khidar of Tangistan
and Ahmed Khan of Angali. During some sharp fighting the elder brother was
killed and Shaikh Abdullah, wounded, took " bast " in the town

about 80 of the Zangineh tribe, inhabitants of Chahkutah. Later they went
back, and Shaikh Abdullah was given the village of Ab-i^Tawil by Shaikh
Hussein ; but blood-feud and enmity still prevails between the brothers. Shaikh
Hussein was for many years a close ally of Darya Begi, and introduced Zair
Khidar, then an unimportant Kedkhuda of Tangistan, to his favour. In 1909
Darya Begi accompanied Shaikh Hussein in an expedition against Zair Khidar
and again in 19'o, but then the Governor of the Gulf Ports made friendship
with the Tangistani chief and authorised him to attack Shaikh Hussein in
support of the latter's brothers. Much fighting ensued, but Nizam-us-
Sultaneh on his way to Shiraz took up the cudgels for Shaikh Hussein, sent
^ashgais under Amir-ul-Mulk to assist Shaikh Hussein, and the Tangistanis and
