GREEK DEPUTIES AS BANDITS
No Wonder the Land of Homer Is Unsa
for the Traveller.

No Wonder the Land of Homer Is Unsafe
for the Traveller.
The recent discovery that two Greek
deputies have been acting as protectors
of the bandits in the land of Homer
shows the alarming power which rob
bers have acquired there. THE ban
dts, says Berlin paper, understand
how TO win the ssmnathies of the
Greek officials. Indeed, the mayor of
Duzesti recently e We dinner in the
city hall in honor If a robber band. A
few days ago it was announced that
the two Greek deputies. Ghianussis
and IIadjigakis, were arrested on the
charge of being professional robbers.
The complaint against these two depu
ties is a unique document. reading as
follows: AT the beginning of August,
1898. band of robbers, under com
mand of Messrs. X. Tsanaka ard q.
Tsou1a, armed with Chassepot rifles,
crossed the Greek border at kastanka
and appeared upon the Turkish estate
of Hairedden Bey. After stealing every
thing possible the robbers took posses
sion of the landed proprietor, Haired
den Bey, and took him back to Greece.
The Deputies Ghianussis and Hadjiga-
kis had already informed the corder
soldiers that their friends, eleven in
number, would cross the border with a
Turkish prisoner. and made arrange
ments that they facilitate as much as
possible the return of the Greeks to
their native country The soldiers car
ried out the wishes of the deputies in
r..
piled the band with victuals. One
night was passed on the Turkish Dor
der. On the following night the band
with the prisoner proceeded to the vii
lage of Teka, which belongs to Deputy
Ghianussis, where the deputy and
his two brothers. Constantin and Alex
andcr, awaited them. After a short
rest the robbers took their prisoner to
the village of Duzesti. On October 3
the two deputies. accompanied by
Kristodolos Dimal1is. the mayor of Kas-
tanca, who was charged with the pur
suit Of the robbers, appeared in Du-
zesti, where long conference with the
prisoner followed. 1t was finally told
him that he would be held captive un
til his family sent certain ransom for
him. This happened, in fact. in No
vember. This money was divided be-
tween the two deputies. the mayor of
Kastanea. and the band of robbers.

unsafe when even members of the ma
tional legislature called to make laws
