'Abbas. In January 1892 Mir 'Abdun Nabi reappeared in the district,
displaced the agents of the Deputy Governor of Bandar -'Abbas after some
desultory fighting, and again began to collect taxes to the great dissatis
faction of the people^ especially in Biyaban^ which district the Persian
authorities now conferred on Mir Haji, son of Mir Yusuf^ 'Abdun
Nabi's leading opponent there. In August 1893 Mir ''Abdun Nabi,
assisted by Shaikh Hasan, Naib or Zabit of Minab, attacked with a
large force at Surag the small Tahirzai tribe of Khotak; the losses on
either side were slight; and the tribe paid 400 Tumans for pardon and
permission to reside at Khotak^ but subsequently removed to Bashakard.
Serious disturbances arose in the neighbourhood of Jashk in 1894 in
consequence of the death of a son of Mir ^li, joint chief of Jashk and
Biyaban, shot by dependents of Mir 'Abdun Nabi in a fray that arose
out of a dispute about camels. Both parties had recourse to the
British telegraph authorities at Jashk, from whom Mir 'Air's party
even tried unsuccessfully to oltain ammunition; and the arrest of Mir
; Abdun Nahi was ordered by the Persian authorities, but could not
be effected. Subsequently the contending chiefs were summoned to
Bandar ^Abbas; but Mir ^Abdun Nabi was attacked by enemies on
the way there, several men being killed in the fight which ensued^
whereupon he refused to continue his journey. The Persian officials
then announced that he had been deprived of the chiefship of
Jashk in favour of Mir Haji, who had already supplanted him in
Biyaban; but this settlement seems to have been nominal,
or at best partial. In April 1895 several Baluch leaders met at
Jashk with large followings to demand the appointment of a responsible
chief over the whole Jashk district, and much excitement at first prevailed,
hut it was allayed by assurances that, whatever was done, their wishes
would be considered by the Persian Deputy-Governor of Jashk. Nothing
more was heard of Mir ^Abdun Nabi until bis death, which occurred in
December 1895. He was succeeded by his son Mir Mustafa.
