Ijlal-es-Sultaneh and his assistant Vakar-ul-Mulk was at the time on his
Shushtar.
The Bakhtiari Khans several times repeated their demand to the „ Jai
that he should withdraw from Shushtar threatening to turn his representative
out by force if he did not comply.
The Shaikh paid no attention to these orders and, in April,
chiefs with a considerable following entered Shushtar.
The Shaikh's representative and his small Arab following fled.
In May the Khans in Tehran, under pressure from His Majesty's
ordered the acting chiefs to withdraw from Shushtar. This was done, a
force of Bakhtiari sowars under a certain Ali Nakki Khan being left to support
Vakar-ul-Mulk who had by that time arrived in Shushtar. The Shaikh shortly
afterwards despatched a large Arab army to Shushtar and Ali Nakki Khan and
his following evacuated the town. The acting chiefs shortly afterwards left for
the high country and in their absence the Shaikh's Arabs raided Bakhtiaii
property in Aqili and the Dizful district causing damage variously estimated at

Kuhgelu —The Kuhgelu tribes have, like most of the nomadic tribes of
Persia, ceased to regard themselves as subject to any control on the part of
fche^ Central Government. They have ceased also to have any respect for
their western neighbours, the Bakhtiaris.
Formerly it was sufficient for a Bakhtiari ruling chief to establish himself
near the Kuhgelu frontier with a small following, summon the headmen of tk
Kuhgelu tribes, take hostages from them for the good behaviour of their tribes-
men and thus ensure the safety of the Bakhtiari road and Bakhtiari villages
adjoining Kuhgelu territory.
This simple and inexpensive mode of procedure has now ceased tok
