Ornery Old Ogre's Overt Offal Offering
Local butcher, Bort Bal Dok, has recently been accused of dumping the off-cuts and organ meat from his shop directly into the sewers. Investigators are currently looking into these alleged crimes but as of yet have found no evidence. The Gazette tracked Mr. Bal Dok down and asked him whether the charges were true.
"Bort takes good meat, squish up into sausage for breakfast. And other time. Mostly other time because not all people wake up on time for breakfast. Sometimes bed too comfy Bort guesses. The middle meats make good sausages, why Bort would throw good meat into good sewer? That's not where meat go."
Mr. Bal Dok does have a point. From what was observed during our interview, the butcher certainly did enjoy making sausages and was seen using organ meat in his grinding machine. It seems to this reporter that Mr. Bol Dok is not a likely culprit.
But that begs the question, what exactly is happening in Beluroc's sewers?
Rush Hour Wagon Traffic Getting Out Of Control
Several city officials have noted an increase in incidental damage to persons and property caused by wagon accidents. The Constabulary has announced more severe punishments for those wagon drivers found at fault.
A public service announcement will be released in the next few days detailing the problem and the new fines and penalties. Sources inside the Constabulary have told the Gazette the increase in incidents is likely nothing to be alarmed at, with the increase in population over the last few years the roads are simply becoming more congested.
No plans have been announced yet that will deal with the systemic problem as of yet.
Old Model Android Causes Ruckus In Centremarket
Centremarket yesterday was the site of a disturbance as an Alpha Model Android lost control during a routine maintenance check. The engineer in charge of the delivery droid service was at a loss for explanation when the Gazette interviewed him.
"One minute I was soldering some wires back in place, then there was a flash. Next thing I knew the thing was running off with off with a basket of Miss Finnigan's apples and throwing them at everyone. Damn thing went nuts!"
Reports show there were no serious injuries. The cause of the android's malfunction remains unknown.
Baron Leinders Announces His Own Land Sale
Apparently in response to the Praetorian land sale, Baron Leinders has decided to parcel up his land and sell half-acre plots. This is yet another in a long list of schemes the Baron has launched, we all remember his previous foray into the marketplace: Baron Leinders' Big Lemon Cookies. Several lawsuits are still before the magistrate.
The Baron declined an interview. We surveyed the land slated to be sold and found only scrubland and caprock, completely devoid of any notable resources. Perhaps some constructions can be made to make the land usable in some fashion.
The Gazette cannot at this time state equivocally that the Baron's land sale is in any way a viable endeavour. Buyer beware.
As we live and breathe, that's the news.
