The changes in the Governorships of Behbehan have been mentioned
under " Local Authorities" and it
u S1 ^ remains only to report the tribal changes
and other events of interest which have taken place during the year.
The Bahmai section of the tribe continued nominally under Bakhtiari
rule, but it is doubtful if the Khans succeeded in collecting any revenue from
the section for which, however, they are responsible to the Persian Govern
ment.
In July, Ali Nakki Khan, Chief of the Ahmedi sub-section of the Bahmai,
was murdered by a servant at the instigation of his nephew—Darvish Khan.
The latter took over the chieftainship of the sub-section and occupied the
murdered man's fort at Likak.
Husain Khan, Ali Nakki Khan's brother, immediately he heard of the
murder, collected some followers and laid siege to the fort. Darvish Khan,
after a few days' resistance, made terms with the besiegers who promised to
allow him and his followers to return in safety to their homes. Immediately
they left the fort, however, they were set upon by Husain Khan and treacher
ously murdered.
The chieftainship thus fell into the hands of Husain Khan who retained
it till the close of the year.
The other sections of the Kuhgilu tribe remained nominally under
Behbehan and, through the Deputy-Governor of that place, under the
Governor-Generalship of Shiraz, but no steps were taken to compel them to
pay their revenue nor were any efforts made to prevent the Tebi section from
raiding on the Bakhtiari road or the other sections from plundering the
roads nearest to their territories.
The beginning of the year found the Bakhtiari road open to traffic and
