UNCONFIRMED SIGHTINGS OF BIGFOOT NEAR...

Frightened hunters and homesteaders in the northern Springfield County report signtings of "Bigfoot", a mythological creature known to eat infants. These reports are unconfirmed.

Officials have claimed these reports to be false, although there has begun unrest in the northern towns. News still incoming.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN WILLIAM AUGUSTUS TAYLOR CLAIMS THE UNION IS CORRUPT

Taylor, a former confederate general who had been recenrly officially acquitted of his crimes and released from prison as of March 4th, 1893.

MAYOR'S WIFE MURDERED; TRUSTED DEPUTY CONSIDERED A PRIME SUSPECT

Clarkstown Mayor [REDACTED]'s wife, [REDACTED], has been found deceased in her penthouse at approximately 3:20 AM last morning. "Fifteen stab wounds were found in her body, as with a vial of poison," reported detectives. She has not been seen by the public in the weeks following the passing of her beloved daughter [REDACTED] Abington, and has exhibited unusual traits in the days prior to her seclusion. She was discovered by her mother.
Detectives uncovered a myriad of documents that led them to a deputy in Clarkstown, M. Wells. Wells has been reported to have been close to the victim and the mayor, and was considered a trusted contact. Wells was the last to be seen with the victim in a saloon, in which she was seen drunkenly stumbling outwards the back door. Neither Wells or the victim were seen in the days following.
Just a week after obtaining a search warrant for M. Wells, detectives uncovered a casket, cases of cocaine, illegal weaponry, and forged documents in his basement and attic. Wells fled law enforcement on horseback and has yet to be seen.
State law enforcement has requested the help of citizens in the search for Marion Wells. County-wide search parties have been announced, but no new information has been uncovered. A $500 bounty has been placed on Wells's head, dead or alive--preferable alive. $350 if returned dead. See Clarkstown officials, U.S Marshals, or Fordham Detectives for more info. Report any and all possible information to your closest law enforcement office.

THE GRAND MONTAGNE SET TO SAIL THE ATLANTIC

The Grand Montagne, an expansive--and expensive--riverboat was initially proposed in 1883 by Jean-Pierre Durand and Sylvester Salomon. Due to its many delays, its success bore the many doubts from the public, and companies began to pull their investments in fear of the worst. It initially launched passengerless in 1887, meant to dock in Marais, but faced multiple infrastructural issues considering steering, foundation, and its rudders. This caused an extensive delay and rise in money required. Despite the inevitabke setbacks, Pierre and Sylvester did not quit--they persisted, refined, and convinced the public to invest. Its first official test run was done in 1892, allowed by Board of Port Authority & Security as with Anders-Anderson Finance & Banking, and successfully docked in Southern West Delacroix.
The Montagne is set to sail the Atlantic Ocean starting November 30th. Tickets are being sold at auction for $15 a piece. Get yours now, or risk missing out on a valuable experience!
