Kitten Quandary: Somebody’s got a feline frenzy! A slew of new kittens, courtesy of the neighborhood cat. Vet, not the deputy, they said. You can’t handcuff nature, folks.

Great Basin’s Whisper: Hiker hears a far-off rumble. A landslide? An omen? Deputies punt it to the Park Rangers—different jurisdiction, same riddles.

Wellness Watch: Alarming message comes through the wire. All hands on deck, a welfare check’s in order. But the deputy finds no clouds on this horizon. Report closed, but eyes wide open.

Warrant Waltz: Michael McCreary, 57, of North Dakota, your warrant’s up and you’re going for a ride. Ely’s finest served him a slice of justice pie, fresh from another jurisdiction’s oven.

Remote Blaze: Brush fire flickers on someone else’s map. That’s Elko County’s problem, we reckon. Tipped our hats and passed the buck straight north up Highway 93.

Uninvited Guest: Unwelcome hands lifting property that ain’t theirs? Deputies swoop in, but it’s all sorted. Nothing to see here, move along.

Scooter Scuttle: Little rebels rolling their scooters on private land. They disperse, chased by the stern voice of authority. Lesson learned? Unlikely.

Whispers of Despair: More hushed talks of self-harm fill the deputy’s ears. Again, no dire straits found. This town’s got its share of false alarms, doesn’t it?

Disturbing the Peace: An alarm bursts forth, rippling the still air. Deputies silence it—no crisis, just a wayward car finding its voice.

Tears on Tarmac: A vehicle sits, its occupant’s sorrow spilling into the desert air. Deputies arrive, but it’s vanished. A brief haiku of heartbreak.

Cow Commute: Ruminants meandering across state routes. Why won’t the cattle get mooving? Ask the State Police, it’s their rodeo now.

Runaway Rascal: Teen’s gone AWOL, but a deputy-aided reunion is quick in coming. The Prodigal Son in the Nevada edition.

Hound Hullabaloo: Another barking canine, a background track to someone’s unrest. A warning’s issued, and the dog presumably silenced. The jury’s out on the peace.

Silent Alarm: Commercial alarm rings out, a siren in the night. Deputies investigate and find zilch. False alarm or a ghostly prank?

Family Fracas: Voices clash in a residential cauldron of familial tension. By the time the deputy arrives, silence reigns. Perhaps a peace treaty?

Tiffany’s Tumble: Tiffany Bolden drives off County Road 212, an ill-timed detour. A fence pays the price. She’s fine; the fence, less so.
