(Near Future) AI'I Four people and a white Cadillac
,were fatally wounded yesterday in an attempted defection
by a small band of dissidents from the newly established
Citizen's Republic of Reach Island.
Following on the heels of last week's surprise attack on
a nearby marina, the incident is being regarded by
authorities as another indication of the new regime's basic
hostility.
In a broadcast speech, Citizen's Leader Bogus Hilton,
Jr., called the deaths "regrettable, but necessary" because
their escapes would have been "detrimental to the security
of tile new order."
Killed in the failedbreakout were four deposed officers
of the Country Club Association that once ruled the tiny
island before, its recent revolution.
Mcanwh'ile residents of a neighboring island community
have become increasingly alarmed over the Bogus regime's
repeated promises to aid "leftist" attempts to infiltrate and
rally for nationalization of all second homes on the island.
Last year similar actions were instigated by the Bogus
government following its undetected infiltration of the
island's security patrol.
Following a strategic march across the island bridge,
even against its red light, Bogus' compatriots immediately
severed the island's contact with the outside world by
detonating charges on the bridge, reducing it to rubble and
destroying the attached telephone cable. Next, the island's
perilneter was mined.
During the takeover many of the former island residents
were allowed to flee, providing they signed over their
homes and sailboats to the newly established Citizen's
Republic.
Owners of second homes on the island who were away
at the time were never allowed back on the island, while
those trapped have reportedly been assigned to work crews
engaged in ripping out rhododendrons and restoring the
island's natural vegetation.
Since the takeover little information has been gained
concerning activities on the island. However, it has been
learned that another .four people were killed when
attempting to escape during the night in a fiberglass yacht.
In sporadic communiques, Bogus has placed the
legitimacy for his regime on a long-forgotten treaty signed
between explorer Vancouver and the lost Reach tribe who,
according to Bogus, once inhabited the island.
According to this controversial agreement, the island
was to be kept :is a natural preserve for the tribe's sacred
blue hcrons or revert back to tribal ownership if used for
any other purpose.
Bogus claims to be a direct descendant of tribal princess
Little Morn who married with the neighboring Wraths on
the mainhmd, later known as the Wraths of Grapeview.
Incidentally, Bogus senior persistently denied any
Indian ancestry during his short life.
Bogus' claim to power is also bolstered by his Minister
of Internal Security, Wrath's Reach, who also claims direct
lineage to the area's original inhabitants.
Following yesterday's outbreak of violence, the federal
government has declined comment or action.
Sources in high places say that the treaty claimed by
Bogus and Wrath is actually authentic.
Other insiders claim that action against the new regime
would upset current trade negotiations with the Peoples
Republic of China, which the Bogus government claims as
an ally.
