ordered the Chief of Itka Police to arrest him. When the
Chief of the Police arrived Kh^Jeh Jawad Haqi managed
to evade arrest and again took "Bast 11 in Haji Sheikh
iaohd Heza's house.
Haji Sheikh Mohd Reza then complained to the
Deputy Governor at the disturbance caused by the Police
and also informed me. The matter was eventually discussed
between the Deputy Governor and Haji Sheikh idohd Reza,who
convinced that no attempt had been made to invade his
sanctuary,proclaimed himself satisfied and promised to get
rid of his unbidden guest as soon as possible.
The above is a full account of the incident which
was seized upon by a member of bad characters as an excuse
to give vent to their feelings.
The present financial difficulties of the BistKie
District have given rise to a number of rumours and the
worst characters probably considered that the moment was
an auspicious one to make an attempt to overtlirow
Constituted Authority,and incidentally to render the
position of this Vice Consulate impossible,as it is solely
by virtue of the influence of this Vice Consulate that
such authority exists.
I am convinced that Qutb-ua-SauUit hi^aelf at
once seized the opportunity to spread rexorts that the
sanctuary of Haji Sheikh Loiid Reza^s house had been
invaded,and engineered meetings to put forward a protest,
but in reality to create a serious disturbance.
This man*s record is full of similar incidents,
and it has always been a source of wonder to a succession
of Political Officers here,what spirit it is that moves
him to create unrest and indulge in intrigue,when no one
is more fully aware than tfhe himself,that his interests
are bound up with our own,and that a state of disorder
would result in his ruin. This fact he is only too ready
