-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 Once a personable extrovert, he had slowly become withdrawn at work and social events.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.

Center City Park Dressed Up For Fourth of July Celebration
-Notion City, July 1st 1921, Local
With relations going well with the Fae Courts, Center City Park looks to see an impressive turn out and celebration for the Fourth of July. Food and fireworks have been provided. And many are expecting quite a festival.
Today, tents are being put in place that will house vendors from all over Notion City and Faery alike. A few are already prepared, and the Informer was on hand today to sample some of the more interesting fare.
One booth contained artifacts of lost yore, the purveyors hoping to see a good turn out for their wares. They state that it would help them determine if setting up shop within the city would turn into a profitable venture. After some perusing, this reporter certainly found a few choice items. Unfortunately, purchasing doesn't begin until tomorrow. Hopefully, they'll still be around.
However, it was still the food that held the greatest interest. While Fae have only been importing in common meats and produce to keep to the palates of Notion City residents, they are now pulling out all stops with the great buffet to be held. They are now offering some of their rarer dishes to the adventurous gourmand.
Fire grilled salamander, with a fire actually started by the salamander was one of the delicacies of the Fire Court grill-meisters. It had a delicious smoked flavor, though the meat was a bit too chewy.
The Water Court offered boiled hydra tongue, a limitless dish. It came out like a spiced breast of chicken, layered and easily pulled apart. They told me it had to sit under a boil for forty eight hours to be safe to eat. Hydra is poisonous they say, truly a daring dish!
Unsurprisingly, the Earth Court pulled out their assortment of grains and vegetables. But within the farm fresh salad they made came an additional surprise. An interesting sort of mushroom, upon consumption this reporter felt himself a bit of a bigger man.
This reporter even got to try a sweet, tangy fruit fresh from the Air Court's lotus trees. Though admittedly, it ended up bringing quite a drowsy feeling and I had to find a bench to rest and take a lengthy nap.
Not all there though will require an open palate. Even a delightful blind woman had managed to set up a tent made entirely from sweets and candies, just for the kids. It's going to be a wonderful occasion for all and it begins tomorrow promptly at sunrise, with plenty of food, art and fun to captivate the whole family for hours. Hope to see you there!

Bloodless Body Baffles Police
-Notion City, September 15th 1920 Local by Eric Parsons, Staff Writer
Early this morning a victim of a hit and run by an automobile was discovered on South street. However, it is not the crime that has investigators digging up clues. Although a considerable amount of trauma was done to the victim, police are surprised to find no blood on the scene.
An eyewitness had come forward to claim that she had seen the man struck by the automobile the night previous. She claimed that the body didn't bleed blood, but rather feathers. Helma Braun, the witness, reported she had seen the victim depart a local speak easy and step into the street before checking for traffic. The automobile struck the victim, and sent him rolling across the car. However, feathers exploded from his body instead of blood. The evidence of her claim she stated blew away in the wind before anyone arrived.
Though police did not reveal the name of the victim they did say that he was one of the recent missing persons who had returned through the Fog from Faery months ago. At this time, they are not suggesting a correlation between the two.
No Fae could be reached for comment, and traffic on South street between 1st and 2nd is closed for the time being. Police are asking that anyone else who may have any reliable information to come forward.

Not All Citizens So Welcoming
-Notion City, September 13th 1920 Local
Not all have made way for the newest residents of Notion City. As more and more safe ways have cropped up through the Fog, both immigrants and emigrants have moved to the other side. However, most Fae are finding human ways difficult especially when many are resistant to the idea.
Shops have begun to designate themselves as for humans only. Barring Fae from making purchases. Certain grocers are still refusing Fae made product, and while showing increased prices still manage to maintain business from those who prefer deal with their own kind.
The greatest piece of history that has sparked the debate of how far we let these people in is the newly opened Morgan Ca’Fae. Human owned. Yet Fae managed and staffed. Much of the menu boasts sweeter fare that have many Notion City residents flocking in. But each day more graffiti is found around the diner, and on occasion more vandalism. The owner and manager both state that they have no intention of changing their operation.
“The times are changing for Notion City and more people need to realize and accept these changes,” states Gregory Wilson, the diner’s owner. “I was met with the same hostility when I opened restaurants that feature other ethnic cooking, and staffed it primarily with those peoples. Cuisine is something that is best known by those who created it. I would not let Italians run a Chinese restaurant. If you want Fae food you would want it prepared, cooked and served by Fae. And the fact that we are still in business, even with costs of cleaning and repair shows that Notion City has a desire for such foods.”
Wilson believes that in a few years, things will change just as they had for his other restaurants. The vandalism will decrease, but so too will the business. For now, it’s a novelty and controversial, two big sellers for the food industry. But he has serious doubts that he’ll ever need to close, or feel the pressure to hire human staff

Local Man Mauled by Bear
-Notion City March 6th, 1920 Local
Late last night near the 18th street bridge just at the edge of the Fog a local man was killed by what appeared to be a bear attack. Although, city officials refused to comment on where this bear originated from, the Notion City National Zoo did state that recently one of their grizzlies had some how escaped.
Police will not release the man's name until his identification can be made and family members notified. The process they say is taking time because of his wounds identification has been difficult. And with so many disappearances around the city it's been hard to accurately discover anyone fitting what remains of this man's description.
There is an alternate theory flowing down the rumor mill as that this attack is one of many that have become common with these "creatures" speculated to be coming from the Fog. The Mayor himself has come out to say that such allegations are wild and will only continue further cause panic within the populace. He went on to further state that he will be holding a press conference tomorrow to alleviate the citizens of Notion City.
