Picturesque Character Is
In The Haunts of Serbia All
DeOastatedby Handof War

GEYGHELI, Serbia, Jan. Cone of
dee most picturesque figures of the
European war is the Serbian 'komit-
@tiT' or guerilla Ivan Stoikovitch,
Known to fame as "Babounsky." The
name is drawn from the famous Bah
0Ana Pass, where recently the Serbs 50
hong held the invading Bulgarians at
AzF- Ivan Stoikovitch comes from that
part of Serbia and is therefore known
So his followers and the Serbian popu-
antiOn a. large by nickname indicat-
kag the fact
A slight man, tall, with honest gray
BHze eyes and the pale features of a
student he impresses the stranger
with anything but the terror which his
name inspires. Nor do his looks belle
his real profession. For the redoubt-
able "Babounsky" was a school teacher
Rztil fred by an ardent patriotism he
gave up his classes to gather about him
a band OF intrepid spirits in the fight
for the release of the Turkish part of
Serbia from the Ottoman yoke.
Ever since the first Balkan war he
ard his followers have been under
arms. Unrecognized by the law OF
var. they have taken their own risks
ut capture and instant execution. Their
refuge is in the Serbian mountains,
and they have been willing to trust
their security to their own astuteness
and the impregnability of their num-
scous hiding places.
During the brief periods separating

, Bulgarian extraction, only the Serbs
fled and the Turks and the Bulgarians
remained. While awaiting for the ar
rival of the armies of their compatri-
OTIS, they were not averse to going
through the deserted Serbian dwellings
and acquiring a few useful articles.
"Babounsky" did not approve of this.
Naturally the deserted dwellings and
all in them would fall into the hands
Of the conquerors. That was all right
the chance of war. But that former
peighbors should do the looting was
not in "Babounsky's" code. And those
who tried it were dealt with in a most
summary manner.
Whoever among the Bulgarians was
suspected of giving information to the
advancing Bulgar armies received
short shrift. A story is told of the
first Balkan war when a certain pseu-
do-Serb known as 'Kechko' was sus-
pected of treason to the Serbian cause.
''Babounskys" band appeared upon the
scene one night and "Kechko" and
four others were arrested, tried in Sc
cret by the band at widnight and SEN
enced to be sent to Saloniki-that is,
taken to the bank of the Vardar river,
stabbed and thrown in, their bodies to
drift down with the current to Sal
.onH All five were lined up on the
bank "Babounsky" gave the signal for
the fatal blows to be struck. But un-
fortunately "Kechko's" executioner,
lawyer from Belgrade, had rever killed
a man before and his hand slipped.
The five bodies were thrust into the
Vardar, but "Kechko" was still alive.
A week later the Serbian consul at
Salopiki was called to the hospital.
"Kechko" told him the story of his es-
cape from death, but begged that it be
kept secret until after his departure
for the United States. Ultimately re-
covered from the unskillful stab of the
Belgrade lawyer, 'Kechko" quietly de-
parted for America where he lives still,
unterrified by the famous guerilla.
Whenever the allied troops have
need of fresh meat or wood or mules
one of the officers acquaints a Serbian
with what is required. The next day
twenty sheep, two cords of wood or a
hundred mules are brought into Ne
gotin or Raphadar as the case may be
by Serbian peasant The peasant
collects an equitable sum for the goods
delivered and in time each Serbian who
has been involuntarily levied upon for
lamb or wood or mule receives his pay
ment. "Babounsky" does not even
keep a commission.
When, too, either Serb or Bulgar in
one of the towns occupied by the allied
troops behaves in a grasping or dis
honest way towards the French or the
British it is not long before the pun
| ishment arrives. The punishment may
take various forms from death for
treason to a dozen blows with stout
stick for cheating one of Serbias al
! lies. The punishments however are
rare. "Babounsky's" reputation is to1
we'll known. The magic phrase: Lis
ten my friend-I shall see that 'Babo-
bunsky' hears of this!" generally has
its effect.

Irwin COUNTY FARMER
IS KILLED BY NEGRO

DELLA, Ga, September SC.
B. lelIcries, a prominent young
farmer, was shot and killed by a
negro named Wiley Marshall last
night about 10 o'clock.
From the best information OBJ
tainable, Jefferies, while driving
home from Della, >overtook the
negro who was travelling i'll d
buggy. jetIcries drove behind
the negro for some distance and
finally called to him and asked
him to either drive up or give up
part OF the road so that he could
pass. To this request Marshall
is said to have replied that he did
not have to do either and drove
slowly on.
Jefferies alighted from his bug
gy and started toward Marshall,
The negro fired on him with a
shotgun, inflicting a wound in the
head from which death resulted
about 9 o'clock this morning.
When Marshall shot Jefferies,
a negro who was riding in the
buggy with the white man, open
ed fire on Marshall with a pistol
and inflicted two flesh wounds in
the leg. Marshall was later cap
tured by the sheriff of Irwin
county, and carried to jail in an
adjoining county to avoid mob
violence
Mr.. Jeffrics moved here from
Jasper county several years ago.
He was one of the leading farm
ers of the county and had many
friends here. He leaves a widow
and two small children.
