about 1857—
60.
Later Grov-

Shaikh Faris,
KVab, at
Fallahiyeh,
1860—68.
Murder of
Shaikh Lutf

Govern

Fallahiyeh
by Shaikh
Rabmah,
Shaikh
Ja'far, and
Shaikh
'Abdullah,
1878—95.
fcion to Tehran of Shaikh Paris, the KVab Shaikh who had governed
Fallahiyeh since 1841, and who yet meekly obeyed a summons from
His Eoyal Highness Khanlar Mirza, Governor of ^Arabistan, to appear
before him ; also in the appointment of Shaikh Jabir himself as Persian
Deputy-Governor of Fallahiyeh in addition to Muhammareh. Shaikh
Jabir sent his son Muhammad Khan to represent him at Fallahiyeh j
but during his absence at Burujird, where the Persian Governor had
required him to attend, the Ka^ab rose against this deputy. The loss of
his new districts was averted only by his own immediate return and
the capture by him of Fallahiyeh.
On the appointment of the Ziya-ul-Mulk to the Government of
'Arabistan, Shaikh Faris was released from his detention at Tehran,
while his relation Lutf Ullah raised most of the Ka'ab tribes against
the Muhaisin administration, to which however the Dris division of the
Ka^ab remained faithful. The result, as already noted, was a serious
defeat of Shaikh Jabir at Munikh and the temporarv establishment of
a Ka'ab government at Muhammareh itself, after which Shaikh Jabir
Was seized and in his turn deported by the Persian authorities. In
1862 Shaikh Jabir was replaced in authority at Muhammareh j and in
1868 Shaikh Faris became blind and was succeeded in the chiefship of
the Ka^ab districts by his son Muhammad.
In May 1878 Shaikh Luft Ullah-bin-Mubadir, generally known as
Shaikh Lufti, a member of the Shaikhly family of Fallahiyeh but a
worn-out debauchee and occasional sufferer from delirium tremens, who
had ousted Shaikh Muhammad-bin-Faris from the Shaikhship in 1872 or
earlier, was murdered with his son Ghadhban in the Jarrahi district by
Ja far and Salman, sons of the said Muhammad.
Eahmah-bin-'lsa, a nephew of Shaikh Faris, was appointed in
Shaikh Lufti's place by the Persian authorities on his promising a total
revenue, for the Fallahiyeh district only, of 10,000 Tumans a year. At
the same time the Jarrahi and Hindiyan districts, as well as Ma'shur,
were detached from the Ka^ab Shaikhdom and farmed to Amir
Abdullah, of Dih Mulla in Hindiyan, on an annual assessment of 12,000
Tumans in addition to 9,000 Tumans which he already paid for M
Mulla. The season being a bad one Amir 'Abdullah failed to meet his
engagements ; and Shaikh Eahmah, the new chief of Fallahiyeh, whose
control was feeble, found himself unable to raise more than 4,000 Tumans
of the amount due by him. Upon this, to enable Shaikh Rahmah to
recover the demand Persian troops were sent to Fallahiyeh under Asad
Ullah Khan, the
Wazir
Minister.
of the Persian Governor.
