Confirmed deaths include Jack T. Hammar, Wheeler DaBarrow, and Foreman Finias Underlord, all of whom expired at the scene. Raga Muffin, local hobo of note, expired later at Rosebud Falls General Hospital. Land Use Commissioner Ms. Bonbon denied initial requests for removal of the offending tree. Only after all harvestable produce had been removed from the tree was a removal permit granted. Two 0-5-0 Overhead gantry cranes were used to remove the fallen vegetation. Minor repairs of track in the area were quickly completed and local rail service resumed after a half hour delay. <br /> <br />[img]http://members.cox.net/rosebudfallsgrr/RBFGRR-00041.JPG[/img] <br />File Photo, Victims l-r Mr. Underlord, Mr. Muffin, Mr. DaBarrow, and Mr. Hammar. <br /> <br />Funeral arrangements are pending at the Rosebud Falls Mortuary. Mr. Hammar and Mr. DaBarrow have no known relatives in the Rosebud Falls area. Mr. Underlord is survived by his wife Lissa and four teenage sons. Mr. Muffin's relatives were last seen in the encampment six miles south of the falls. Sheriff Eyegota Star states that his deputies are engaged in searching out Mr. Muffin's relatives. Both deputies were seen by this reporter to be actively engaged with the "support staff" of Ms. Legga Bloomer, Proprietess of "The Red Garter Saloon and Hotel." President Flatbottom has informed the Widow Underlord that she will be allowed to remain in the Foreman's Shanty until such time as a new Foreman is announced, most likely around the first of next month. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Cool, <br /> <br />My I include your article via the GRAP (Garden Railway Associated Press) for y Two Trees, Times? <br /> <br />Wouldn't it be cool of we made a post that was a fictional newspaper...hummm??[}:)]
