If you find yourself without a bun in the oven, don't despair.  Come to Trelac Bakery and get bread.  Manager Richard Longfellow, says 'our buns are always warm and ready to be served.'" 
 
 
And now the news:
 
In an earlier story, it was reported that a One Flung Dung, "a person of interest", was apprehended by the Trelac Guard in the vicinity of Blacklake, where a number of terrorist acts had been committed, one of which was the burning of the home of Centurion Gerold and the smearing of donkey poo on it's walls.  Dung admits to impersonating a Trelac tax collector and says he was hired by a Don Keys to collect money from anyone he could get it from, and cause general mayhem in the western region, but has denied the burning of the Centurion's house.   To date, the Trelac Guard has been unable to locate the mysterious Don Keys and verify the truth of Dung's story, and Dung has been unable or unwilling to divulge any more information about the said Don Keys or his whereabouts.
 
OCA, Organization of Chinese Ansteorans, having learned of the imprisonment of Dung for over a month by the Trelac Guard without charges being filed, have demanded his immediate release.  The OCA states that Dung's human rights have been grossly violated and his imprisonment is racially motivated.  While not denying that terrorist acts have been committed along the wall, they insist that Trelac has the wong man.  
 
In response to the OCA demands, Lady Muirghein, captain of the Trelac Guard, states that Dung is a "person of interest" in the goings on within the Blacklake region, and he will remain in the Guard's custody until we get to the bottom of it.  She adds, "It is the duty of the Trelac Guard to protect this shire from terrorists, foreign or otherwise.  When she was asked if Dung had been tortured to get information, she declined comment, merely saying that Dung is being treated well enough given the seriousness of his suspected crimes.
  
While political pressure has been building from outside Trelac to free Dung, it is not true that the local population is in favor of Dung's release.  It was mistakenly assumed that there was local support for his release in Trelac when signs started popping up around the Shire saying "Free Dung."  It was subsequently learned that the "Free Dung" signs were merely advertisements from "Trelac Stables" offering to give away free donkey manure.  It seems that they have an over abundance of the stuff and they were willing to give it away to anyone who would haul it.
