Angalis were beaten off. Shaikh Hussein manifested his enmity against Darya
Bcgi by threatening to capture him in Bushire, in conseauence of which Darya
Begi after his dismissal took “ bast ” with the Residency. Muwaqqcr-ud-
Douleh, when appointed Governor, at first supported Shaikh Hussein, then
turned against him and favoured Zair Khidar. Shaikh. Hussein was openly
defiant to the Governor as long as Nizam-us-Sultaneh was in power, and since
then has been invoking the Residency’s support, to prevent the Governor from
taking his revenge. In 1911 he contracted with Nizam-us-Sultaneh to be
ahswerable for the revenue of'Ahram, Khawiz and Tangislan for the sum of
46,000 tomans for a period of 6 years by arrangement with the Tangistani
Khans* protdges of Nizam-us-Sultaneh. In October 1911 these were however
turned out of Tangistan by an uprising on the part of Zair Khidar,.who besieged
some of the Khans with one of Shaikh Hussein's sons and men m the fort of
Qalat.
The outstanding feature of Chahkutah politics is blood enmity .with Angali
on the one hand, and Zair Khidar of Tangistan on the other, and insubordina­
tion as regards the present Governor of Bushire. Possession of Ahraedi, which
has often been threatened, is the most important factor for. the Shaikh, because
of the large revenue derived from exactions from muleteers. He is also desirous
of obtaining a hold on the northern part of Tangistan. He always professes
very friendly feelings towards the Residency, but is a great arms-dealer and
importer, like most headmen in a position to participate in the traffic.

road, and this boundary line then mounts to the summit of the hills.
