LONG AUTOMOBILE
TRAINS YESTERDAY
(From Fridays Daily)

Although Amarillo is accustomed
TO long trains of autos, and has a
greater number Of the machines than
any other city in this or any other
state OF three times the size, today
presented sights that were suggestive
of newness. Long lines Of cars fill
ed with thrifty prospectors passed
out over the streets OF the city yes
to-day and today. Today noted a
greater movement than that OF the
day before, and tomorrow will see
many other visitors being whirled to
the vast stretches OF rich prairie
country.
Every excursion during this fall
and winter will bring hundreds Of
people here to look over what is now
admittedly the finest portion of Tex
as, from many view points. 1t Is a
notable fact that many of the people
who reached the city yesterday are
not prospectors but actual settlers.
They are those who have purchased
lands upon the commentators Of
their friends and are coming here to
locate without further ado. There
will be much OF this class of business
during the next few months, especial
" from the various portions of the
North and East.

CONDEMNED MAN
But if Mantesana Is Revived
After Electrocution Lawyer
Will Demand His Release.

Relative to the plan OF County Physi-
clan Scammell. OF Trenton, n. J., to ap-
ply all life-restoring tests known to
science on the body OF John Mantesana
after he has been electrocuted in the
new State prison. John Bernhardt the
condemned mans lawyer. has deter
mined on different courses of action.
First he will attempt to Illustrate the
plan of the doctors by being in the ex-
'ecution chamber and claiming the body
just as soon as the electric current has
been applied. II that fails to prevent
the application of the tests, Mr.. Bern
hardt proposes to infinitely watch the
progress Of the tests, and If Mantesana
shows the least indication OF returning
to life, the lawyer will Immediately de-
mand his liberty on the constitutional
contention that man may not a sec
ond time be placed in jeopardy Of his
life for the same crime.
In the first place" said Mr.. Bern
hardt in his office, in the Prudential
Building. Newark, to-day. "Mantesana
has been sentenced TO be electrocuted
during the week of Jan. 10 and not Dec
Il. By Dec. 10 | will have probably filed
an application for a writ of error, so
that an appeal can be taken. II that is
denied, presume the execution must
