-Notion City, July 14th 1921, Local by Eric Parsons, staff writer

After covering the events of the fourth of July only a few days ago, one of the Informer's lead journalists has disappeared while in custody. While most find this a strange thing to report on in our city, what with disappearances quite common. But police are still requesting any information on this case as the person was last seen in a state that would make him a danger to himself and others.

Timothy Franklin who recently covered the fourth of July event was been missing since some time last night. Once a personable extrovert, he had slowly become withdrawn at work and social events. He became increasingly agitated as days progressed after the coverage. Refusing any story that didn't allow him access to Faery. His condition reached a boiling point last night in an argument with his wife. Neighbors called police after hearing the sounds of the argument, which included several loud bangs and crashes.They arrived to discover Franklin fleeing from his apartment in a state of panic and madness. After managing to subdue him, they also discovered the slain body of his wife upon the kitchen floor of their apartment. When questioned Franklin could respond with nothing beyond shouting and requests for being allowed to enter the Fog.

Franklin was placed in police custody for the night, but managed to escape en route to the police station. The patrol car was found with both officers slain, and Franklin's cuffs broken just near a Fog heavy district of the city. Franklin is still at large and police are requesting anyone who may have information on his known whereabouts to come forward. If you see Franklin, do not attempt to restrain him yourself call the police.

Police Make Startling Raid

-Notion City, May 9th 1921, Crime

In the early hours of the morning, police led by vice detective Walter King raided one of the largest illegal distilleries to date. Authorities will not comment on the amount or location of the bust. However, they did state that many Fae were caught working in the distillery at the time.

Because Faery cannot be governed by any body of Notion City government they need not conform to the laws of Prohibition. However, officials have worked closely together to prevent the transportation of Faery liquor across the Fog and into the city proper.

Detective King stated that those officials are not working hard enough. Not only were police able to determine that the goods used to produce the alcohol were of Faery origin. But also, large quantities of a Faery specific liquor was found.

"It is a mockery to us and our laws that Fae are not respecting our right to rule ourselves," detective King stated. "They play games behind the scenes and circumvent our authority. I am personally making it my mission to keep the Fae in their place. And keep Notion City under the rule of humans."

Detective King has always been a staunch defender of Notion City, quickly rising through the ranks from steady beat police officer. Sources state that he already has a number of officers standing behind him in his defense of the city's moral codes.

"I do not think we need to run the Fae out of town," detective King added. "They have resources that our valuable to both Notion City and her citizens. But there must be a mutual respect between our two peoples. That starts with these places (distilleries) being shut down permanently."

Authorities have issued their support of King and have stated over four more raids on known distilleries are planned in the next week.
