Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)

From F. Darlang

In 1910 “the Darlang column remained in the Péndéng valley, so that Lebé Grondong (a notorious resistance leader) moved with his henchmen to the neighbouring sub-divisions.”

From Lebé Grondong

In 1910 the column of Darlang held the Péndéngvallei, so that Lebé Grondong moved with his followers to neighbouring sub-divisions. In March 1911 a brigade under sergeant Wisse surprised his hiding-place between Tampor and Lésten and reported him killed with his principal panglima and a follower, the booty being an M.95 rifle, a Mauser repeating rifle, a Beaumont and a Mauser self-loading pistol. In September came news that he was not dead: he had toured the Gajò Loeö during the hari raja feasts extorting from the population and had obtained two carbines on the death of the resistance head of Badaq; in October he murdered Rödjö Akoeb of Penosan in revenge for the latter’s journey to Koetaradja — but handed in a panglima, a goeroe and a carbine. In 1912 he came in submission.

From Gajòlanden

On 20 September the hiding-place of old Rödjö Pasér with his religious men was raided; among seven killed were the two principal Teungkoes and two feared commanders of Reröbö; shortly after, Tgk. Kalipah, principal resistance leader of Penosan, was rendered harmless; in October the Penosan band was attacked and Tgk. Kalipah’s brother killed. The column Darlang held the Péndéngvallei, so that Lebé Grondong moved to neighbouring sub-divisions. Total losses that year: 141 killed, nine prisoners, 302 submissions; 216 uitgewekenen remained.
