ToMLiNSoN MISSING
 FOUL PLAY FEARED

BISBEE. May 10-Ed. Tomiinson, a teamster in the employ of the Hen derson-Watkins Lumber company. mysteriously disappeared on April 2l and nothing has been learned Of his whereabouts or his fate since that time. He left his room at the Oliver house that evening and dis apesred as completely as though he had walked oil the end of the earth.
 No alarm was felt at first. as he is unmarried and apparently was able 10 care for himself. but when in- quiries were later made, the affair became a mystery. He Is a brother of Bert Tomlinson who has started an inquiry.
 There was no reason why he should reave the camp, and so far as is known he had no intention of doing so. He had not had trouble with anybody. and had no known en- emies. It is feared he has met with foul play, as he is thought to have had quite a sum of money in his pocket at the time of his disappear ance A quiet search has been in- stituted for the body.

The city council with all members present. met in regular session fast night and transacted routine business as well ss taking up several import ant matters which were put in mo ton for the welfare of the city.
 Steps are being taken to do away with the extravaganza of continually buying wooden boxes for fire hydTant covers ann iron ones will be substi- tuted.
 The matter of pound incarceration was taken up and people owning stock will be made to pay the penalty for allowing their cows and burros to run at large and thereby destroy other peoples property Numerous cases. exasperating in the extreme of damage to shrubbery and flowers and gardens were reported by sever al Of the councilmen. Chief Of Pc lice Brayin was instructed to imme- distely enforce the dog license. there being an ordinance covering this matter and the Chief stated that he would commence collecting this H. cense just as soon as he could get the tags. The strict enforcement Of this ordinance will rid the town Of a lot of worthless CUTS.
 Another matter of importance talk en up and disposed of was the ap- pointment of City Police Judge and by majority vote of Mayor and Council Judge James F Duncan was appointed to the office and in a well well chosen words accepted the honor and stated that the office Of Police Judge would be at the City Hall in the Council Chamber and that he would be ready every morn ing al ten o'clock to try "joy riders, the man who had a package the night before. or any other case thai came within his jurisdiction and that he would keep one eye on Jus tice and the other on the needs O he street fund.

LAST. CHANCE TONIGHT
To See How a Big Moving Picture
Is Made.

Mrs. Luther Graves, Luther
Graves and Zebra Graves have been
chosen as the triangle in the society
photCdrama The Battle of Wealth
being filmed in Bennington by the
Contest Cinema Company of New
York, Director Roberts, the man in
charge, says he hopes to complete
the picture this week The entire
cast is composed of Bennington peo-
pie. Romance, love high finance and
the beautiful scenic values of Ben
nington are mingled in the entertain
ing photoplay.
The story hinges upon the eternal
triangle, Luther and Zebra are rivals
in love as well as business and are
ardent suitors for the hand Of the fair
Audrey, who parties both their pro
posals To tell you all at this time
would be letting the cat out of the
bag and leave nothing to imagination.
Mr.. Roberts when interviewed to-
day by a Banner reporter said that
he could not quite understand that IN
cities where moving picture studios
are in operation people come miles in
the hopes of being permitted a
glimpse into one so as to ascertain
some knowledge of the inner work
ings OF a moving picture studio.
Manager Harte, is offering at the
Opera House stage a cast of local
people; Mr.. Roberts added that the
cast would satisfy the most discrimi-
mating director and the stage is rig
ged up as miniature studio using
powerful lights to take the pictures.
Here. you might say. at your very
doorstep what people in other cities
have travelled miles to see you are
offered an opportunity of actually wit
Messing many different scenes acted
and taken. It would appear to me.
Mr.. Roberts added, that the people Of
Bennington are either not interest
ed in knowing how the pictures are
made or evidently have misconstrued
the treat offered them at the Opera
House. so IL you ever thought that
you would like 10 know how the pic
ture is made and taken. the various
bits of business technicalities, etc,
required to finish them, by all means
do not miss going into the opera
house tonight and be convinced that
It is not all sunshine and roses for
the director or the cast
