BLACK KETTLE, OKLAHOMA - A bloody gun battle erupted outside Black Kettle’s
lone watering hole, the Three-legged Dog. Witnesses say that Bloody Louis, a
gunman visiting from the south, had been drinking in the back when two
figures entered the front of the bar and began shoving patrons out of their
way. When the barman took exception, one of the interlopers blew his left
hand off. The intruders shouted a few choice insults and Bloody Louis opened
fire. After the initial exchange of lead, Louis made an escape though a
boarded-up window with the intruders giving chase out the front door. Local
law enforcement, however, has hit a snag; no two descriptions of the
harassers have been the same.

spectacle seen at the city limits. Three low-flying hovercraft passed the
town, heading northwest at a high rate of speed. They were being chased by
nearly the entire Venomfang mutie tribe out of the Coyote Confederation. The
enraged mutants were making chase with horses, a few bicycles and a handful
of the large “gammaroaches” that have been appearing in the southwestern
states
