favours their nefarious purposes. In this they were successful, for ha
discarded Sheikh Murtaza they established an oppressive and' quarrelsn 1 ^
oligarchy. me
22. Serious trouble broke out again in December in the form of domesti
trouble, the cause or excuse for which was the presence of some members f
the family of the late Kalantar Muhammad Kazim, who in July had b p
allowed to return to Shushter from Failya, where they had for more than 611
year been under the protection or surveillance of Sheikh Khaza'l. 3
Sheikh Murtaza following the traditions of his family espoused the side of
the Kalantar, but failed to effect a peaceful adjustment, lighting ensued and
continued on into Eebruaiy without, however, any very serious casualty list.
Partly by the intervention of the Bakhtiari Khans, partly owinp- to the
advent 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 partly because of the absence of any
sufficient subject of contention, peace was then established.
The net result has probably been to weaken the position of Jhe Kalantar's
family,^ who had gained considerable power on their first return, and to brin^
on Sheikh Murtaza the contumely of a considerable section of the inhabitants.
23. The trouble which arose in Southern Arabistan in connection with
the purchase and sale of grain was duplicated, or forestalled, by similar trouble
at Shushter.
i^ n i'^ 0Vem ^ er ^ ie < ^ om ^ 1]an ^ powers in the town decreed that no ffrain
should be sold for export in Shushter, and later extended the embargo to the
surrounding districts. The removal of grain which Messrs. Lynch Brothers had
previously bought and had stored in the town was prohibited, grain, which
was being brought in for them from the villages was seized, and their brokers
m the Miyanab were prevented from buying.
Appeal was made to Khuda Karam Khan, but he had from the beeinnin"
been without a shadow of power in the town, and made no attempt to render
assistance in the present case. Reference was eventually made by the Vice-
onsul to Sheikh Khaza 1 and some slight degree of satisfaction was obtained.
4? eri< ^ ■^- aro ^ ^ res h trouble was reported in Shushter arisino'
from the seizure and deportation by the Bakhtiari Khans of a bankrupt
merchant, nomine Alam. Here again Sheikh M urtaza appears to have come
orwar on the less popular side, and a later story which announces the
poisoning ofhis eldest brother (Sheikh Muhammad Jawad) attributes the deed

probably with no truth. V
