mexican general Cordova and his new policies. During the annoucement the
President stated,"Cordova feed your people!" The President continued, saying
"Texas will not stand idly by as innocent people starve."

any military action he had no comment and headed toward the exit.

A group of people calling themselves "the peacemakers" arose from
nowhere this week. They reportedly said,"that the world around them
was currupt, and it was up to them to bring justice." The peacemakers
reportedly bombed both; Ridgewood farm (where Keith Hawkens,
his wife, and child live) and solomon's folly. Thier list of crimes
doesn't end there. Eyewitnesses reported that the peasemakers, also
shot and injured many people. Although, they were not successful
at murder, they were reportedly present at the time of Raylan crowders
death and did nothing to prevent it. Sons of liberty member Keith
Hawkens hunted down the peacemakers, and brought justice to
thier crimes. Keith reportedly tried to talk to them and come to an
agreement prior to the bombings, but they did not accept.
Keith took on the peacemakers after the bombing of Ridgewood farm,
and had no choice but to kill all members.

and talk." Crowder was taken to jail, but was later released on bail of $500 but still
owed $1100 for fines. Cowder then left town. Ceberus employees stated that a lawmen
from Armadillo was looking for Crowder and would pay a reward for him.

no choice but to shoot Crowder. An eyewitness reported seeing the two men
reading of a list of crimes they believed he committed as he bleed to death.
