which may prove of interest:—
(a) that the property of Yazdan, Kabuda and Atashan originally be
longed to the Khans of Durukhsh. About 70 years ago
Sardar

Maded Khan, Afghan, invaded Kain and fought with the
Durukhsh Khans, after a month peace was made and
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Madad Khan married a daughter of the Durukhsh Khan and
returned to Afghanistan, Two years later he died and the Khan
of Durukhsh went to Afghanistan and brought his daughter back,
and then went to Kabul and married an Afghan lady whom he
brought with him to Durukhsh.
(b) Some fifty years ago the Afghans again invaded Kain and were
W defeated by M ir Alum Khan, father of this Sbaukhat-ul-Mulk,
He saw that it would be an advantage to have villages on the
frontier, and asked the Khans of Durukhsh to sell him the Yazdan
property ; they gave it to him under certain conditions, and pos
sess the “ san ad ” referring to the transfer. Mir Alum Khan
then started with Yazdan, Zain-ul-abidin and Kabuda, the karezes
of which he repaired and these places are cultivated now by
Persians. Atasban he intended to repair, but died before he
could carry out his intention. The late Shaukat-ul-Mulk never
cared about it and the matter was forgotten until six months ago
when the present Shaukat sent Mahommed Yusuf Khan Timuri,
Naib of Dastgird, to tour along the frontier and submit a report:
he reported Atashan to be deserted and, in his opinion, Persain
territory.
(c) Some four months ago the Shaukat-ul-Mulk sent a party to re
pair the Atashan karez and cultivate the lands. When they had
been working some twenty days, a party of Afghan sowars arriv
ed with a message from the Governor of Ghurian telling them to
stop work, as the place was claimed by the Afghans; at the
same time a " Mamur ” came to the Shaukat-ul-Mulk from
Afghanistan with reference to this case and it was decided to
refer the matter to Kabul and Teheran. The Shaukat-ul-Mulk
recalled his working party. The Afghans, however, are report
ed to have taken possession of the place, cleared the karezes and
built houses there.
