{1020}{490c GARRINGSBURG HEIST!
PAINTING STOLEN!}
{1021}{492c _ THIEVES STILL AT LARGE _}
{1022}{483l Late on Tuesday evening, the mansion of Mr. James and Mrs. Evelyn Garringsburg, at 37 Devonshire Way, was broken into by thieves and ransacked, according to sources close to the family.  Among the many items stolen was the famed 'Kerghan and Persephone', painted by Pizarro.  Sold last year at Renaud's for a reputed 50,000 gold pieces, the painting was the show piece of the Garringsburg gallery.
Mr. Garringsburg, a long-standing member of the Wellington Gentlemen's Club, had this to say--"You can be assured that the perpetrators of this heinous crime will be brought to justice, and that reparations will be made."  Mrs. Garringburg was unavailable for comment.
The Garringsburgs have offered a 300 gold piece reward.  This crime is only the latest of many art-related robberies, which have included the "Lorek in repose" statue, and the Blendom Vase.}

{5000}{490c TECHNOLOGY PROTEST
CLAIMS 3 LIVES}
{5001}{492c _ EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE? _}
{5002}{483l 	Yesterday, the Tarantian Guard was called in to control a riotous protest on the steps of City Hall.  The group who organized the protest, the Friends of Magick, had amassed there in the morning, shouting obscenities and throwing various technological objects.
The Guard, responding to complaints of the protest, arrived on the scene about an hour after the protest began, wielding guns and cudgels.  Minutes later, there was mass chaos with agitators on both sides.  When the smoke cleared, three protestors were dead.
The protest was in response to the growing number of factories in Tarant, and the adverse afrects they are having on the city's air.  "We'll not stand for it any longer," said Josiah Hummel, the Friends spokesperson.  "Tarant is our city, too."
The Captain of the Tarantian Guard had this to say.  "The Guard is here to protect the city, whatever her air is like.  Any other bleedin' hearts here in the city can expect the same treatment."}


{5010}{490c FLYING MACHINE RUMORS QUELLED}
{5011}{492c _ LEARNED MAGE SPEAKS OUT _}
{5012}{483l	As of late there have been many rumors concerning the sightings and indeed the very existence of what have come to be called "heavier than air craft". Many of these accounts describe craft that are "bird shaped", and create quite a clamor. Because we here at the Tarantian have received so many letters concerning these "sightings" or phenomena, we decided to consult an expert in the field, Master Mage Krolus Brajercliff. 
	He is a master in both the colleges' of Air and Conveyance. When asked about these mysterious craft, Master Brajercliff informed us that such a contrivance was simply not possible, and he supplied us with the following. "Even a commoner knows that birds' bones are hollow, and filled with air. Even so, does it not have to exert itself greatly? Even the best of those retched new "engines" wouldn't have one tenth the power needed. No I'm afraid that the only way the common man can achieve flight is through the use of one of those most dangerous and inconvenient lighter-than-air ships, or through the rigorous study of Magick."
	We at the Tarantian thank Master Brajercliff for sharing his thoughts and insights concerning this.}
