DANGEROUS BANDIT ALERTS SOUTHERN BORDER
Authorities of the Republic of Texas requested support from the Confederate States
A
hooded man, identity still unknown, has alerted the authorities of the Republic of Texas. Thaddeus S. Taylor, Ranger of the 66 Company, has asked the Senate to support a military intervention in Sabine. According to Taylor, for the past several months the territory known as the Neutral Fringe has become the hideout of outlaws, indians, slaves, refugees, witches, mexican, and the worst scum ever known to mankind. “If we do not act soon, the hooded man will be problems, so we ask the support of the Confederate States to work together,” Taylor said.

THE WILD AND WEIRD WEST WORLD
here is much to say about the tradition of the Wild West. It has become a genre that has provided heroes, villains and stories worthy of myth and cult.
If we add to this the animistic ideology of Native Americans, mixed with a little imagination, a pinch of horror, science fiction and steampunk, we have a very interesting fusion for a promising retro futuristic tale. And that is precisely what we have decided to begin in Producciones Mercenarios de Dios (Mercenaries of God Productions), an ambitious project that we have entitled “1875”.
THE IDEA Our goal is to bring together creatives, experts and the general public who are attracted to the retro-futurism in all its forms and manifestations (Steampunk, Weird West, Uchronia, Dieselpunk, etc..) so togheter show a centered universe in the year 1875 in a dystopian world where in North America, there are seven nations: The United States of America, the Confederation of American States, the Republic of Texas, California, the Mexican Empire, the Canadian Kingdom and the Russian Alaska... If you are interested in getting involved please contact us. -The Editor-

EUROPEAN ASSASSINS ARRIVED TO OUR PEACEFUL SABINE?
E
urope, Connecticut and Rhode Island have been terrorized by a series of strange deaths, same as those are believed, are attacking Sabine. “We never really have seen what’s killing them, but it does slowly”, said George Brown, the father of Mercy Brown, a young girl who died at the hands of these murderers. His neighbors claim that are the European vampires, who have arrived in the ships to New England and demand it as their new hunting grounds. “A vampire is a living dead who somehow prey on the living by stealing their vital energy or their blood.” Konstantinos explained, a neo-pagan occultist. The first death on record here in New England is one of a man of Griswold, Connecticut, who was known as JB. His body was exhumed and maimed. Dr. Nicholas Bellantoni said that “the femurs, were out of their natural anatomical position and were folded across his chest.” He also added that: “The skull was dislocated and had been rotated in unnatural direction, the ribs were fractured as well.”
The above may be due to the cure imposed by a foreign doctor in Willington, Connecticut. Moses Holmes, representative of the people, explained that such cure consists in exhuming the body and check for vines traversing the coffin. Vines must be cut, rip vital organs and burn them to solve the problem. It is believed that Sabine is the next target of these murderers, because in less than a month have died, strangely enough, two people. It is also believed that the death of Mrs. Lardner is relevant to this case.

Let us recall that since the stone foundation laid in 1861 until 1870 in its completion, the building suffered a series of interruptions that are diverse, from underground flooded caves to the fall of the Second French Empire. During this time the work continued sporadically even the rumor that the building would be abandoned was spread. However, it is 1875 and showing that not a day that does not come or deadline is not met, the project with a “Napoleon III” style won by the French architect Charles Garnier, was finally inaugurated.
