COMPLAINT HEARD.
Alleged Violation Of the License Law Con.
sidercd BY the Commissioner.

Aleyeu VIOLATION OF lnt LlNtlNC Law Nun-
sidercd BY the Commissioner
The license commissioners had a
session Monday morning to hear t. s.
timony relatiyeto TO complaints that had
been made by Special Policeman
Kelly. One against w. H, Lundergan
was to the effect that at his place
liquors had been supplied after hours.
The complaint was not substantiated
and the case dismissed.
The other was against the Putnam
house bar, one charge being selling
after hours, and one for selling 10 a
minor. II was shown that the selling
took place during hours but the liquor
was not furnished until later, but as
It was done under misrepresentation
and with no intent to break the law,
probably no action will be taken ex-
cept in way of warning. The selling
to a minor was vigorously denied.

GENTRY'S ANIMAL SHOWS.
Famous Exhibition Coming to Bennington
Tuesday, July "a.

Gentry Bros. world famed trained
animal exhibition will make its visit
to this village in the near future. This
is one amusement enterprise that will
never lose its charm nor read its doom
in the sombrous frowns of an indifer-
ent public. The Gentry Brothers
shows have millions. of admirers with
whom their popularity is deep rooted
and who will prevent animal acting
from becoming lost art.
The Gentry's have dogs, ponies
monkeys, elephants and camels galore
which do everything except actually
tolk, and if science and further devel-
opment can accomplish this, we shall
yet see our dumb friends passing the
compliments of the season with each
other and discussing the condition of
the weather To many this statement
will appear absurd, and literally
speaking it is 50, but the idea meant
to be conveyed is that the Gentry
Bros have the largest collection and
most intelligent number of animal per-
formers in the world.
Their No. l show favors this village
with visit this time. This is the
Oldest and largest of all the Gentry
shows, there being almost $50 perfect
ly trained animals, requiring five cars
to transport them. The street parade,
which takes place daily at Ii O'Clock,
is in keeping with the performance
proper and should not be missed by
anyone, The date is announced for
