but, tliey were considerable, and it is known that the Taibi captured 120 Bakh-
tiari riflss.
Sarum -ul-Mulk attempted to rally his force, but the tribesmen were so
disheartened by the reverse and desertions increased to such an alarming extent
that he eveatually decided to withdraw from the enemies' country He re-
crossed the Bakhtian frontier a few days later.
The Southern or Behbehan column meanwhile had met with better
success. It advanced as far as Deh Dasht, fighting some minor engase-
ineats and capturing some towers and tribal forts, It appeared how
ever, that these successes were in no way due to the Bakhtian tofangchis' who
took little or no part in the fighting and the majority of whom deserted within
a Tor y short time, but were due solely to the efforts of the friendly Kuheelus
who soon formed the greater part of the force The fighting soon degenerated
into promiscuous intei-tiibal quarrels and the so-called column ffraduallv
disbanded, all hostilities ceasing when Amir Mujahid abandoned the Behhehan
Governorship in May.
The result of this complete failure of the Bakhtiari Military expedition
was to confirm the Kuhgelu tribes in the belief that they have now nothing
to fear from their Baklitian neighbours, and that they are more than a match
for them when it conies to fighting.

wore taking place in K.uhgelu country, a critical situation had arisen between
the Bakhtiaris and the Shaikh of Mohammerah in connection with the Jarrahi
lands, and the damage caused to Bakhtiari property by the Arab raids on
Aqili in 1912.

Bakhtiari Ilkhaniship, had assured His Majesty's Minister that he enter
tained the most friendly feelings towards the Shaikh, and would, during
the winter, re-sell to him the Jarrahi lands and settle the question of the Aqili
compensation in a friendly spirit. In January, however, the

announced
that he had no intention of selling Jarrahi but would shortly send his mamurs
to take possession of the property, and he declared that the only point for
discussion with the Shaikh was the question of the amount of compensation,
which the latter must pay for the damage caused at Aqili.
The Shaikh, on this, decided, if necessary, to resist forcibly any attempt
on the part of the

to send representatives to Jarrahi, and, with this end
in view, came to Nasiri and summoned his Arab forces to the number of some
3,000 will-armed men. He stationed another force of 1,000 men on the Earn

hostilities with the Shaikh of Mohammerah, and that we should consider
