The Trouble in Chitral.

unit* Kii&iv.

A contemporary publishes the follow ing interesting history r f Utnra Khan : —Umra Khan, of Jatfdol, who , has suddenly sprung into prominence by his seizure of the town of Chitral, and ■who is threatening to cause the Fritish authorities in India serious trouble?, is one of the most important chiefs on the Indian frontier. His life has been, during the last fourteen or fifteen ye rs, a succession of adventures and hairbieadth escapes, which have gained for him a unique reputation for courage and crai'r among the fierce and lawless clans of Yaghistan. His exalt age is doubtful, but he was prob bly born about the year 18G0 He was a younger son of the hereditary Khan of Jaudol, or Barwa, one of the four divisions of Bajaur. His father, A man Khan, died in 1879, ard was succeeded by hia eldest son, whereupon Umra Khan deemed it prudent to seek refuge in" British territory He resided for some time with kinsmen in the neigh borhood of Peshawur, but the spirit of adventure led him to visit Bagdad, whence he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. While there, he dreamt that he was to become a great chiet in his native country, and he returned to Peshawur, with the intention of realis ing what he considered his destiny. As he was only sn individual without any party in his State he could only accomplish his object by some act of personal daring. He reached Peshawur in 1881, and succeeded in stealing a Snider rifle and a considerable quan tity of ammunition. With this weapon he hastened across the frontier to Jandol, and succeeded in secreting him self in the family tower. An oppor tunity soon presented itself to bhoot hw unsuspecting brother the chief, and when the Khan's followers at tempted to avenge his death he shot down several of them. A parley then ensued, and on the intervention of his mother, the widow of Aman Khan, Umra was acclaimed as chief in the place of the brother whom he had slain Having thus acquired power in an ortho dox and striking manner, Umra Khan proceeded to consolidate and extend it. His fiist act was to obtain some more of the weapons which had proved so valuable in his own hands, and the thieves of the border learnt that they would find him a generous purchaser of any rifles they could steal from the Anglo-Indian army. In this manner he soon possessed 4Q Sniders, and at the same time he raised a small corps of 80 mounted men, which constituted the only cavalry throughout Yaghistan. He lias since added to the numbers of his "force, both horses and foot, and now commands a considerable army. So impressed was his neighbour Mahomed Sharif Khan of Dir, another of the divisions of Bajaur, by his success and the Evidence of his energy, that he voluntarily surrendered several villages on the Panijkora river; but this did not satisfy the ruler of Jando', who, in alliance with Mian Gul, the sor\ of the famous Akhond of Swat, attacked and defeated Mahomed Sharif. He then turned on his ally and inflicted several humiliations on him, and his triumph was all the greater because Miah Gul 'was assisted by our old opponent, the faicou3 Mushki- Mini of Ghuzni. Umra Khan also oddtd to his power by marriage. He married, first, the sister of the Dir chieftain, and then a daughter of tha famo js Mehtar of Chitrai, Atnan ul-Mulk. He is conse quently the brother in-Uw of the lately murdcrrd Mehtar, and may on this fecorf claim a voice in Chitral aifiirs. In 18S7 he connived at the attempted assassination of the Khan of Di*, but the plot miscarried, ntd after this oc currence the policy of the two neigh hours became clearly marked^ that of Dir towards complete depei dence on the Ameer, that of Jandol to indpen dence as clmi of Yaghistan. That of Umra Knan proved the more popular and the more successful. Whilti the Ameer was engrossed in the campaign with Isliak, Umra invaded Dir, drove its Khan into exile, and absorbed his territory, /fter the annexation of Dir, Fmra seized Khar and the two remaining divisions of Bajaur, but he was compelled to evacuate the latter in 1892, by ail Afghan expedition under the Ameer's General, Gholam Hyder. Since then foe has kept quiet, watching the course of events, but maintaining his independence of the Ameer.
