Lamb. mother of Charles Lamb. who
was arrested at National City on
several charges Of indecent exposure,
has instituted suit against seventeen
of the most prominent and influential men
in that city for $4,000 damages. She
alleges that defendants on the night Of
August % visited her house and broke
down the gates. entered her house and
put her in great fear for the lives Of herself
and family, that since these fright
full acts defendants have made
threats against members of her
family and have threatened her rela-
tives and friends, who were willing to pro-
tect her and her family, and have put her
in such q state of fear that she
has been counseled to abandon
her home and seek shelter else
where. A similar suit, also for $4,000,
has been brought against the same de-
PENDANTS by Miss Cora E. Lamb, daughter
of the plaintiff in the other suit. The facts
in the case are that six children, little
girls, complained of Lamb for indecent ex-
posture. Coming SO soon after the arrest
of Steckem, the friend who pleaded guilty
to tampering with little girls, the
citizens turned out in body to
warn Lamb to leave town before day

of the unfortunate lad witnessed the
bloody deed. and lost no time in
wreaking vengeance upon the murderer.
He felled him to the floor with blow

repeatedly plunged the tines of the fork

was dead. All the threshing hands stood
by and witnessed the two tragic deaths,
which occurred SO quickly that they were
powerless to interfere.

vienna, Aug. 29-The corn fair opened
today with a fair attendance. Herr Nat
chauer. president of the corn exchange,
delivered a remarkable speech, which was
the sensation of the day. 1t contained
marked reference to the growing I'M
remunerativeness of corn-growing in
Europe in the face of overwhelming Amer
lean competition, which is constantly i'm
creasing through the constant opening up
of new regions to cultivation and the low

Herr Natchauer said that in view of
this competition there remained but one
chance for Austria, namely by building
a network of canals in Central Europe
The speakers hearers evidently regarded
the chance set forth as poor consolation.

grievance against the Democrat because
this paper wants to know how they are
going to build that road from Ell Paso to

brate its completion, but in the mean

Any newspaper that is unwilling to
aid public enterprises of great value to
a large number of citizens of the Terri
tory, whether that enterprise is in their
own town or vicinity or not, can
eventually expect its influence to be cir

is not needed after success is attained

IRRIGATION.

The Penasco Reservoir and Irrigation
Company Enterprise.
To the American farmer who has not
lived in districts farmed under irrigation
the value and importance of such
methods are in a manner not compre
hended. The arid lands although lying
adjacent to water courses if viewed by
such parties would be considered very
undesirable and scarcely valuable for
pasturage.
Without irrigation no purchaser
could be found for such lands at the
Government price OF $1.25 per acre.
Now comes the Penasco Reservoir and
Irrigation Company and through their
energy, enterprise and capital they make
this wonderfully rich land more produc-
tive than valley lands Of the eastern
states within the rain-be The price
which this land will bring under the
magical touch Of water cannot be
definitely estimated but it is safe to say
that with rail outlet to market $25 to
$50 per acre will be readily realized
According to private information to the
EAGLE, the Penasco company has entire
control and an undisputed title to all of
the water of the Penasco river and trib-
utaries and have the only available site
for canals and reservoir covering the
agricultural lands on the Penasco, except
few water front farms at Lower Pen
asco The lands under this company's
bitches and reservoir sites are in eastern
part of Lincoln county and western Eddy
county.
The acreage is almost unlimited, or, at
least 100000 acres, all of which the com
pany expects to be able to supply with
ample water for irrigation by proper
storage of water from rain and snowfall
through the Fall, Winter and Spring
seasons, in addition to the large and
regular flow through the irrigating
season.
These lnnds are first class aud the
water good, pure mountain whter--nO
| dHdH-whch makes this water supply
far preferable to the Pecos valley water
supply. Several thousand acres are al
ready filed upon, part of which is cul-
tivated with decided success. As soon
as surveys and plats can be completed
the company will begin work upon Two
canals, one leading out from each side of
the Penasco and which, with their present
reservoir site and lateral bitches will
cover all Of the available lands.
The Rock Island road as viewed out
passes through these lands, as also does
the Pecos Valley railroad. This com
pany merits the appreciation of both
Lincoln and Eddy county citizens and
should emulate others to enhance the
taxable values of property in this coun
try, by causing acres Of blad,s of grass
cereals, fruits and vegetables to grow
where heretofore there were PRACTICAL!
