10:08 a.m. A man and his wife, both residents of Conrad Drive, are engaged in an unusual conflict as they navigate the throes of divorce. Evidently, the fellow has allowed his cat to reside at the woman’s home but will not purchase food for the creature. The cat must now eat the woman’s cat food, causing her much distress.

10:14 a.m. Several mailboxes were demolished on Wilderness Lane.

10:58 a.m. Two hitchhikers on Highway 40 were accompanied by two skinny pit bulls, one of which was limping badly. Authorities could not locate the injured dog.

7:58 p.m. Earlier this morning, a Labrador retriever and some sort of shepherd killed several rabbits on Lore Lake Drive. The dogs fled the scene after committing the crime.

8:20 p.m. Massive amounts of smoke emanated from an electrical fire on Larch Lane in Columbia Falls. The blaze, which originated in a ceiling fan, was completely contained in the bathroom.
