Police are looking for the man at right in connection with an armed robbery. At the risk of sounding like a bunch of stoolies, the Week In Review staff suggests officers may want to give Review-Journal police reporter Francis McCabe a look. He's the one on the left in the picture below.

THE SOUTHERN NEVADA WATER AUTHORITY HAS ENTERED INTO AGREEMENTS TO BUY TWO MORE RANCHES IN A WHITE PINE COUNTY valley 250 miles north of Las Vegas. But unlike the five other ranches the agency already purchased, the new ones come with cattle and sheep.

On Thursday, General Manager Pat Mulroy told water authority board members that it will be up to them to decide how the livestock should be marked.

"We will bring brands to the board, and you will get to pick a brand," she said.

DENNIS ELDRIDGE CO-OWNS ONE OF THE FEW PRIVATE RANCHES LEFT IN SPRING VALLEY. He hopes the water authority realizes what it's gotten itself into.

Ranching is tough, Eldridge said. "I've spent my entire life just trying to make a living. It ain't like prison, but it's pretty close."

THE TIT-FOR-TAT BETWEEN CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS KATE MARSHALL AND BRIAN KROLICKI WENT BEYOND OFFICE SPACE last week when Marshall, the treasurer, suggested something is amiss with the marketing expenses in a college savings fund most recently administered by Krolicki, now lieutenant governor. Marshall asked lawmakers to audit the account and Krolicki asked the attorney general to investigate.

The letters each wrote have already been analyzed for their political content, but no one has looked at their signatures. It's amazing these two made it this far without going to medical school.

NORTH LAS VEGAS FACES MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AS ITS LARGER NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH -- LIKE GETTING PEOPLE TO VOTE. The city started its early voting for this year's municipal primary elections a few days earlier than other valley cities. The results were embarrassing to one city worker. "Don't crack on us," she said after telling a reporter that just nine people had voted the first day. The second day? "Two people," she said. Then, more quietly: "But it was a married couple."

OVERHEARD ON THE SCANNER: "Subject pulled a sword on another vehicle."

THINGS ARE SET TO CHANGE IN THE BILL YOUNG HOUSEHOLD, now that the former sheriff is heading security operations for Station Casinos. His 12-year-old daughter, Cara, liked to hang out at a bowling alley of a competing casino chain. Not anymore. "I informed her we will no longer be going to the competing bowling alley," Young said from Red Rock Resort. "We will be coming here."

A CALL CAME MONDAY ON THE POLICE SCANNER ABOUT AN AVALANCHE ON MOUNT CHARLESTON.

An avalanche? On Mount Charleston? When there has been so little snow there this season? And on a sunny day when highs in the Las Vegas Valley climbed into the 80s?

Turned out to be a Chevrolet Avalanche that authorities were trying to locate on Mount Charleston.

AS THEY OFTEN DO, POLICE LAST WEEK DISTRIBUTED A PHOTO OF AN ARMED ROBBERY SUSPECT, hoping the image -- apparently from surveillance video -- would lead them to their man.

Unlike past dispatches, though, there was something familiar: the G.I. Joe beard; the ball cap pulled low over the forehead; that hungry look in the eye.

Authorities asked the public to be on the lookout for William Iman. But the Week In Review staff suspects that the man they're looking for might inhabit the Review-Journal newsroom.

THE HUFFINGTON POST

John Seery, a Huffington Post blogger and political science professor, recently visited Las Vegas with other political types in the Western Political Science Association.

Amid the "erudite academic conference," Seery took time to look around and found the city lacking. "What a disgusting, vile, Godforsaken hellhole of a city," he began.

"Looking around at casino life, I kept thinking: What does it mean for so many civilians to be playing slots and craps in the so-called Entertainment Capital of the World while American soldiers are risking life and limb elsewhere?

"Should I even be raising such guilty questions amidst all of the glitz and glamour, I wondered?"

Seery apparently concluded that, yes, he should be raising such questions, because he continued: "Even if we haven't been called upon to sacrifice during a time of war, don't we have a moral obligation to be civic exemplars to the rest of the world, at least in the minimalist sense of refraining from seedy and sordid activities in public places?"

Seery eventually found something of redeeming value amid the dreck: the Liberace Museum.
