Chiru, and by Muhammad-bin-Hasan, Shaikh of Charak, he undertook
an expedition against ^Abdullah-bm-Muhammad, the Hamadi Shaikh
of Kalat, whose village of Marbakh the allies were successful in
plundering, besides killing 17 men of the Hamadis. In July the
Qavvam -ul-Mulk, then Governor of Lar, sent 200 Sarbaz and 700
irregulars with one gun against Shaikh Mazkur ostensibly to punish him
for this outrage ; but the force was surprised and defeated by the Shaikh
and his adherents. In February 1879 the Qavvam-ul-Mulk in person
arrived in Shibkuh with troops, but apparently effected nothing. At
length in May 1880, after prolonged petty warfare. Shaikh Mazkur,
who had shut himself up in a fort called Surkh, fell into the hands of
the Persians. Lured out by treachery, he was forced, though sorely
wounded, to ride post in fetters to Shiraz, where ominous preparations
were made to put him to a cruel death immediately on arrival. The
presence of some European spectators in the throng seems to have
served so far to mitigate the form of punishment that the Shaikh was
simply strangled at the foot of the scaffold, and the corpse gibbeted on
a gallows over which was inscribed an ironical legend.A few of his
followers were put to death at the same time; but one of his sons,
Hasan, escaped to Bahrain with other members of the family. Shaikh
Mazkur ; s fate excited much commiseration, for it was generally believed
that his cruel punishment was due less to his raid on the Hamadis than
to his failure to make good promises of enhanced revenue which he had
rashly given to the Persian authorities. One Muhammed Ibrahim Baig
was set up in his place, and Shibkuh remained undisturbed for some time
after his death. In April 1883 considerable excitement was caused by
the return from Bahrain of Hasan, the son of Shaikh Mazkur, who landed
at Tahiri; but, on troops being sent against him, he disappeared.
It may be noted that in 1878 or 1879 Shaikh Muhammad-bin-Hasan,
the ally of Shaikh Mazkur, was removed from the Government of
Charak in favour of a certain ^Abdullah-bin-Musabbah, and fled to the
island of Quais.
In 1895 trouble occurred at the Tahiri, where Shaikh Ibrahim, the
Zabit or official recognised tribal governor, resisted displacement by the
Persian authorities to make room for a new nominee; and a considerable
force had to be sent to the spot to effect his expulsion.
In October 1874 a charge took place in the Government of Lingeh, History
which at this time was still a tribally administered Arab principality, in i8?l-90.
