Ali and two other persons Were murdered during the year.
Mir Barakat of Biyaban and Zargham-us-Sultaneh of Budbar have been
engaged in a species of tribal warfare during the summer and autumn months,
the casus belli being the protection afforded by the former to some Bashakirdis
robbers, who fled from Budbar. The quarrel led to increased depredations by
Biyabanis and culminated in the visit of Mir Barakat to Minab, on the pretext
of protecting the district from Zargham, but with the real object of feeding
bis forces at the expense of Minab. Perhaps the worst effect of this visit
was the stopping of the caravans from Budbar, on which the trade of Minab
mainly depends.
