Station in AnolSa.

taken by the city council, Anoka is soon to have
pubic pay station owned and operated by Twin

built 10 the city limits and the company plans
to one from there across vacant lots owned by
private persons from whom it has a lease to
seventh avenue where the last pole will be
planted. 1t will then be an easy matter to run a
where the pay station will be located In this
way the wires will be strung and poles planted
only private property after reaching the civ
limits. =

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont. Aug. 1S.-Rev. Charles
L. Bovard. pastor of the First Methodist
church Of Butte, has appealed to Otto r.
Schoenfeld secretary of the state bureau
for child and animal protection, to insti-
tute proceedings against those who en-
gagged in the bull fight at Butte last
Sunday.
Last week Mr.. Bovard, acting with the
Endorsement Of the Butte Ministerial asso-
citation, appealed to Governor Toole to
stop the exhibitions. The executive COM
municated with the attorney general and
the authorities of Silver Bow county, re-
questing them to take steps to stop the
fight if it were found that the statutes
contained law covering the case.
Whatever was the decision of these Of
ficials, the fight took place as scheduled,
and while it was generally voted tame,
Rev. Mr. Bovard insists that there was
violation Of the law regarding cruelty
to animals, and has addressed a letter
to Secretary Schoenfeld seeking the prose-
cution of the alleged violators of the law.
