In connection with his son s rebellion the ali obtained an opportunity
of attacking and defeating a section of the Sagwands. These he moved en
masse from their usual habitat to the neighbourhood of Deh Luran and later

would have to turn their energies to more peaceful pursuits.
During the early part of the year constant raids were taking place be
tween the Wali and Nazr Ali Khan, Fath-es-Sultan; later in the summer peace
was made between them, and their joint forces made a raid on Mandali, as a
reprisal for the assistance given by the Turks to the Wali's son.
This peace was however shortlived and, early in November, the Wali of
Pusht -i-Kuh, assisted by his brother Ali Riza Khan, Shahab-ed-Dowleh, at

Chief was wounded in a raid and returned to his home and up to the present
no further steps have been taken in the matter.
Towards the end of the year another question besides that of the owner
ship of the lands of Gunjian Cham arose between the Wali and the Turks
This was a question of water rights rendered acute by the completion of a
canal by the Wali, which takes ofi from the Ab-i-Gunjian Cham, thereby
lessening the quantity of water which reaches Mandali. Up to the end of
the period under review however no active steps had been taken by either side,
to enforce what they considered to be their respective rights.
