Pishin under Slier KM, but never to have lived there, and I was quite 

 surprised to find how little appeared to be known about him locally. His 

 fort, called Khiishdil Khan, is in the north-east corner of the Pisliin, and from 

 it his Naib or Lieutenant Nu'r Muhammad Kha'n (Muhammadzai Barak- 

 zai) seems to have ruled and collected the revenues. This last fled at our 

 advance into the Pishin in 1878, and the valley -was handed over for govern- 

 ment under Sir R. Sandeman, agent for Beluchistan, with the fort Klmsh- 

 dil Khan, to another Nu'b Muhammad Khzv'n, Luga'ei', a Beloeh in our 

 service as Nazim or ruler.* This Khushdil Klian's descent was given me

• Another and perhaps th-e most true local story is that Khushdil Khan died ahout 

 7 years ago, say 1872, and in former days ABD UL-KAufii Khan (Muhammadzai 

 Barakzai) was his Naib, but on Sher 'All's final accession in 1869, Khushdil Khan lost 

 his government and went to reside in Kandahar, while "Nu'k Muhammad Kha'n 

 (Muhammadzai Barakzai) was sent to govern the Pishin direct from Sher 'AH himself,
