was in doubt till the timely arrival of Khanjan with reinforcements from the
Arabistan side decided it in favour of the wanderers.
For some time the Shahab had his camp at Qilab, but he did not delay
putting his services at the disposal of the Salar Muazzam. They were accepted
and after employment in policing operations, he was eventually installed in
Dizful as Deputy Governor, when the Salar, now Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Mukarram, left it
for Shushter inTebruary. The Shahab by his eccentric movement has incurred
the disapproval of the Bakhtiari Khans, but this has not prevented each of
the opposing parties from courting his adhesion.
The chief result from our point of view of the incursion of the Shahab-ul-
Lashkar has been the accentuation of the hostility between the Dirakwand
and the Sagwand, which in its present form the latter attribute to the occur
rence of the attack by the Dirakwand on our officer.
To this is to be added the breach of the peace between the Sagwand and
the Dilfan, which affords subject for regret.
Messages expressing friendship and desire to co-operate with us continue
to be periodically received from the Eath-i-Sultan, the chief of the Dilfan.
As we are specially interested in Khanjan, a more detailed account of his
affairs may be considered desirable.
19. Owing to enmity with the Dirakwand, Khanjan did not essay to leave
Arabistan for the hills in the spring. In May the Salar Muazzara sent
stringent orders for him to take his tribe up to Khurremabad, but they were
not obeyed. The Salar then referred the matter to the "Wali 'Ahd in Tehran,
and the Farman Farma. In due course telegrams were received from both
directing that Khanjan should be evicted, the assistance of the Wali of Pushtu
i-Kuh being invoked if necessary; but eventually in June a compromise was
agreed to by which Khanjan was allowed to remain in Arabistan, while Hassan
Khan, his brother, went up to Khurremabad.
In July Khanjan effected a great coup in plundering the sons of Saiyid
Na'ama, who had come to the , Amla Karim Khan to buy wheat accompanied
by a large following. The Salar took exception to Khanjan's action, and
refused his explanation that he had acted on behalf of Government, because
Saiyid Na'ama's sons had not obtained official permission to buy wheat from
the 'Amla.
A long dispute succeeded in the course of which Khanjan handed over a
portion of the plunder to the Sala, but absolutely refused his demand tbat he
should come in to Dizful, except on security given by the chief Mujtahid.
Finally, he removed to the right bank of the Karkha. The Salar subsequently
invited Mm to join him in the Bani Turuf expedition, but Khanjan refused
suspecting a trap. Orders were then issued forbidding him and his followers'
entry to the town.
Sheikh Khaz'al also asked for his services on the same expedition, but
Khanjan was still distrustful.
When the Muizz-um-Mumalik was called to Shushter jby the departure of
the Salar Muazzam for the Bani Turuf, Khanjan again appeared in the
vicinity of Dizful.
He was welcomed by the leaders of the town, and it was arranged that
he should undertake the protection of the crops on the right bank of the
Diz, receiving 120 tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. per mensem on account of 12 sowars, and 90
tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. in his own name. This arrangement continued to give great satisfac
tion to all the parties concerned, until, on the return of the official authorities
to Dizful, it had to be abandoned, and Khanjan withdrew to a safe distance.
Since then the old wrangling has been going on, the authorities com
manding Khanjan to come in, and the latter persisting in his refusal, and
occasionally making his importance felt by a minor raid or foray.
In March Khanjan is said to have got on to friendly terms with the
Shahab-ul-Lashkar, after the appointment of the latter to the Deputy Governor
ship of Dizful on the departure of the Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Mukarram and the Mu'izz-
um-Mumalik for Shushter in February.
