HEBRE WS WILL
ENTER FEAST
OF PASSOVER


Tonight at Sundown Hebrews in
this city and cities all over the
world, will enter into the feast Of
the Passover, celebrating the 5,670th
anniversary of the Iiberating of the
Jews. and their exodus from Egypt
into Palestine. The celebration lasts
for eight days, ending on Sunday,
May /, at sundown.
During the eight days no bread
containing salt must be touched. In
stead, unleavened bread, better
known as matzoths, will be used. 1t
is the belief of the Hebrews that
their ancestors in their hurry to de-
part from Egypt, prepared the bread
for the journey without the use Of
salt, and the custom has since been
carried out.
The feast will be observed in aIl
of the local synagogues tonight by
special services Tomorrow night
also will be allotted to services. For
the succeeding four days, church SER
vices will be eliminated, but tho two
remaining days will be observed in
the synagogues.

part In his capture

eat at the point of revolver While
his attention was engaged In another
direction Miss Mary Burnett, sixteen
years old, slipped out of the house and
ran to the stable, where she got a
horse and witkout any saddle rode the
animal across fields, fences and ditch
es to Stirling, whence she telephoned
that Grant was at her house
With Banker Fisk, County Detective
Gotten and several others, Chief Weiss
went to the Burnett farmhouse In au-
tomobiles. Grant, not aware of their
arrival, was eating his supper.
As Chief Weiss stepped into the din
ing room Grant drew his pistol and

missed fire. Weiss and Mr.. Fisk had
Grant covered.
