Duke Petko Ilić
The only spark of light in the gloomy March days of East Povardar is represented by the work of the Montenegrin company of Duke Petko Ilić. On March 28, he managed to avoid a conflict with the army near Pobužje, in which he was surrounded, and then, after taking refuge with his company in a watermill on the Kučeviška river, he killed three Arna-uts who suddenly burst into it. On that occasion, the following were seized: a martini and a revolver with ammunition, a “watch” and 180 groschi. In order to erase the traces, two Arnautins were burned, while one was buried due to lack of time.
The people killed: Nezir Arifi, Hazir Zeneli, Adem Fejza. Tanuševci
