what Mir. H.nnon says.

It was Elliott Hannon and not Alex Hannon who was assaulted during a business visit to Selma.
 Mir. Hannon, who received severe bruises about the face and head from blows rained upon him with a pistol. has returned to his ome In Montgom- cry, and was able to be about his bus aness yesterday.
 Speaking of the incident MT. Han non denounced it as an, outrage, and declared he would prosecute the two Selma men to the limit. He has em- ployed lawyers to do so. MT. Hannon said he left Montgomery for Selma Wednesday night. In the coach with him, he said, was man whose name he did not know. and who was drink ing. This man. he said, was bolster ous and appeared to be seeking con- troversy. Finally the boisterous per- son slapped a stranger In the face. At this the stranger arose and with a heavy blow, floored the boisterous man. This quieted the boisterous person who seemed subdued and slunk out of the car.
 MT. Hannon said he took no part In the difficulty, and did not even speak to any one. Arriving In Selma he went to a restaurant for supper, and 1t was while he was seSted at table alone that he was assaulted. Two men entered the restaurant and he rec ognized one of them as the man who had been knocked down in the train This man later proved to be John Jones. The other man entering the restaurant with him was his brother Mike Jones.
 According to Mir. Hannon the broth CTS strode to where he sat and one of them struck him in the face without warning, turning him over completely As he rolled to the floor, he says both of the men jumped on him, and while one brother held both of his wrists and pirioned him to the floor, the oth. CT brother struck him in the face and on the head with a pistol. Every one fled from the place as, according to Mir. Hannon, the Jones brothers are re- garded with fear by Selma people.
 MT. Hannon thinks he was uncon- scious about fifteen minutes. When he regalned his composure he learned that the Joneses had gone outside the restaurant and assaulted Messrs. Mel ton and Forney. MT. Melton has rel. atives in Montgomery and MT. Forney is a we'll known salesman.
 Mir. Hannon swore out warrants fol the arrest of the Jones brothers, but they pleaded for a continuance of tho case and 1t was granted by Acting Mayor Clay, the men being released or small bonds.
 , MT. Hannon says he never saw tht tJones brothers before in his life ant shas never spoken to either of them.

Forest serxie. and Good Rsad..

Realizing that with thicker settle
ment and increasing use OF the ma
tional forests good roads Will become
more and more crying necessity, It has
been arranged that the Office Of public
roads of the department Of agriculture
shall cooperate with the forest service
in drawing up plans for comprehensive
systems of roads and trails IN the ma.
tional forests. Hitherto the Funds al
lotted by congress to the forest service
for permanent improvements ON ma
tional forests have largely been used
for road and trail building. but the
amount is too small compared with the
total area Of the forests to make pos
sible more than small beginning.
Building each year under the new ar
rangement can be done with reference
to a carefully worked out plan. escap-
Ing the danger OF undirected effort.
The roads. trails. telephone lines and
fire lines already constructed In pa
tional forests are proving Of great
value both in the work Of IRE protec-
ton and in serving the convenience Of
the public. The further this work can
be carried the greater will be the use

Why the West Believes In Building
Highways For Automobiles.


Highways For AutemehiIss.
"The good roads movement in the
east does not compare with that OF the
west" said Horace 0. Gordon Of the
Oklahoma Good Roads association
while he was In New York on visit.
II think the work Of the good roads
advocates In the east has stirred mp
the public demand and desire for the
best roads IN the world In the west.
but do not believe the eastern states
are carrying out the work SO thorough
ly as the western states.
I'VE in the west appreciate the fact
that the opening Of the western coun-
try depends entirely upon its roads,
and we are not going to build high
ways which will last merely decade
like your eastern state roads, to be
torn up by automobiles.
"Nve are building roads which the
motor cars cannot tear up. We feel
that the automobile can do rs more
good than the horse, because we have
to cover hundreds Of miles where you
in the east cover tens Of miles.
''It seems ridiculous thing to build
road for the use Of the horse. which
is on the decline, and then when the
automobile comes along and tears it
up to jump up and yell that the motor
car is destroying our roads. The thing
to do is to build roads for the automo-
bile, and then the horse can use them
as long as he lasts, which VIII not be a
great while"
