A fight between two men at a local motel Sunday night ended with one of them in the emergency room and the other arrested.

On the livestock beat, a "great big horse" was seen in the middle of Shady Lane late Sunday. Not to be outdone, two cows and a calf were reported on the road near Del's Bar in Somers around the same time of night. And a stray dog got into a pasture on Grand Vista Drive.
