Of the Kalhor tribe who took him two stages out of his way to Daud Khan
a i)d his son Salar-i-ikbal. ine latter thinking that orders were beins sent
to the Wali, under cover of my seal, to proceed against the Kalhors and
punish them, opened the letters and read them. Owing to the state of the
country and want of any strong Government it has been impossible to tret
any redress for this action even after reference to Tehran, but punishment
must be given sooner or later.
In November, the Kalhor chief gave his support to the pretension of
Habibullah Khan, the direct heir to the chief ship of the Siniabis The
Kalhor tribe who had made friends with the Sinjabis in the beginning of
the year, were once more at enmity with them. It has been mentioned that
detachments of both tribes were despatched to the assistance of the Shah at
Tehran. On lining up for the Shah's inspection, the Sinjabis put them
selves in the place of honour. This the Kalhors, who are by far the larger
and acre important tribe, refused to permit. The Sinjabis replied that
theirs was the post of honour, since the Sinjabi tribe was allowed sowac
by Government, which sowars they represented, whereas the Kalhoirs were only
represented by a foot regiment, therefore the Sinjabi horsemen being regulars
had the right of precedence of the Kalhor sowars who were temporary irre
gular levies. Neither would give way and the result was a fight on the
spot. The Shah was excessively annoyed and the chief of the Kalhor party
was imprisoned, but was subsequently released and taken into high favour.
Since this date the old enmity between the two tribes has been resuscitated.
Sher Khan, Samsam-ul-mamalek, had been for many years chief of the
tribe and a very efficient chief, but a certain section of the tribe was dis
contented with him. Accordingly, when so powerful a chief as Daud Khan
gave his assistance to Habibullah Khan, the whole of the Sinjabis went
over to the winning side and Sher Khan was forced to fly, although he was
Governor of Kasr-i-shirin. He, unfortunately, subsequently, took bast with
Daud Khan which completely cut away the feet from under his friends,
who were using all their influence with the Government at Tehran. Habi
bullah Khan seized the Government of Kasr.
In the meantime, however, Samsam-ul-mamalek's son who was on his
way back from Tabriz, where he had with his detachment, formed part of
the royal forces, returned to Tehran, and, apparently, succeeded in working
up some influence against Daud Khan; the people of the town also, who had
done much telegraphing on account of all they had suffered from the hands
oi this man, no doubt assisted. At any rate orders came that Samsam-ul-
mainalek was to be reinstated and the Governor was ordered to proceed
against Daud Khan.
Zahir-ul-mulk gathered together an army by calling in a certain number
o his own regiment, collecting some sowars of the Kuliai tribe and gathering
as many sowars as he could out of the town. On Christmas day he held a
grand review, which was certainly an improvement on anything that has
ever been seen in Kermanshah. The artillery paraded and did some very
respectable practice sufficient to show that if they were trained, they might
wake very passable artillery men. They were keen on their work, but there
^as, as may be expected, no discipline, and the Sergeant-Major waylaid the
Qffimander-in-Chief on his way back to the tents to ask for a " khillat " for
bis excellent shooting.
Khan^ 6 WaS disbanded without having moved against Daud
Habibullah Khan paid a bribe to the Governor, was confirmed in his
position and Daud Khan arranged matters by similar means. Thus, as usual,
one suffered except the villages which had been looted and the people of
ermanshah. At the time of writing, Samsam-ul-mamalek is in bast in the
telegraph office.
