Broad Horned Herd Go Down to Defeat Sunday
 by the Score of
 Eight to Six
ABBOT WOODS RIVAL

It happened to the Moose again Sun day, and the happening, the short end of an S-6 score. was administered again by the AIl-Stars. The Stars had previously won three straights from the Moose in a district cham pionship series, SO the victory of Sun day runs the total of straights up to four, proving beyond cavil that the Stars are the champions of the dis trict.
 The game was for the gate re- ceipts, but the weather was not good for baseball, and the attendance was slim. "Inyincible" Brown, formerly of the Stars. and Ross Champion worked on the Moose mound, with Brown behind the bat, and for the Stars, Happy Jack" Abbot, the New Mexico southpaw. pitched, while Gill caught, Abbott's straight shoots rival those of Smoky Joe" Woods and even with a veteran like Gill behind the bat, he was unable to turn his arm loose.
 At the end of the seventh inning, the Moose apparently had the game won, but in that Hateful period Gill went to bat, with three men on bases. The score was 6 to In favor Of the Moose, and no batters were down. Gill lined out a three bagger to right field. and scored three runs, and lat CT went home himself. Two more runs accrued to the Stars, and that amounted to game, the Moose falling to see the raise.
 Franks playing was one of the fea- lures of the game. He played a good game at second. and out of five times at bat he got four hits. Davenport, in the Moose right bower, helped the Stars in their rally by missing sew eral Of the shower of balls that came into his garden.

MEXICAN ASSAULTS
 2,YEAR OLD CHILD
Revolting Crime Is Charged Against Man Who Is
 Now in City Prison

Jesus Mendoza, Mexican. is in the branch county jail here. charged with | assaulting a Mexican girl, two years and two months old, Josefa Morales. crime which officers declare was the most dastardly in the history of Bis bee. and it Is doubtful if the criminal history of the state furnishes a paral- Tel of bestial fendishness.
 The crime occurred at the home Of the childs parents Sunday morning. Attracted by the child's screams, the mother ran into the house from the yard, and the man became frightened and ran away. but not before tho mother got a good look at him, from which she was able to give officers a description of the assailant.
 Hears Chiid's Screams
 The mother had left the house only a few minutes before she heard the child's screams, and 1t is evi- dent that the man had been lying in wait for the opportunity the pre- scented itself when the mother left the house. She went into the yard to get some stove wood, and stopped for a few minutes to talk to a neigh Dor, when she heard the child scream and ran to the house. There she saw, according to her story to the officers, Mendoza over the two-year- old child. The mother screamed, and the man ran and escaped, but was later captured by Officer P. T. Me Rae, who placed him in jail The mother says that Mendoza is the man she saw.
 Preliminary Today
 Mendoza will be given a prelimin- ary hearing this afternoon at 3:3O o'clock before Judge Morris High, having been remanded to jail until that time under bond of s1,000. The complaint was signed by Ramona NJ. Lopez, who is the mother of the as- saulted baby. The crime occurred at her home in the Mexican settlement called Zacatscas.
 Officers says that the mans treat ment of the child was hendish in the extreme. and that the testimony of witnesses will relate revoltins story. 1

YOM KIPPUR, FAST
DAY OF JEWS, BEING
OBSERVED |NCAP|TAL
Churches Open and Many
Stores Closed for
"a Services.

The observance Of Yom Kippur, the
Jewish day of atonement, was begun In
Washington last night, services being
held In several churches at Z o'clock.
Today the churches are open and the
service of devotion continues, conclud-
ing at sundown.
Many business houses conducted by
Jews are closed today. 1t is not unusual
for some Of them to be closed on church
fete days. but the demands of Yom Kip
pur are even stronger than most of the
red-letter days In the Jewish calendar.
This 10 the most serious Of all Jewish
fasting.
The tenth day Of Tishri otherwise

more Sncent 11 tse of vsbe

undoubtedly on the offering of animal
sacrifices in the days Of Israels ma

Feast of Tabernacles.
Among those orthodox members who
cling to custom was to be observed
yesterday the ceremony Of sending a
live fowl OF to the butcher after the
following lines in Hebrew had been
pronounced:
This 10 my sacrifice. this Is my sub
stitute, this Is my alternate: this fowl
will 20 to It's death, but may be ad-
mitted to a long life Of happiness and
peace"
The larger number of Jews, however,
and especially those who have wealth,
prefer to substitute money for this
ancient symbolism. A part Of the Yom
Kippur donation goes to the Jewish
National Fund, with which money Ia

the Zionist movement.
The day of atonement Ia not complete
without peace Of heart and the banish-
nent Of evil feelings toward ones neigh
bors. The day before Yom Kippur, In
the more orthodox portions of the city,
Is q day Of making up" and men who
have nursed grudges shake hands and
are good friends again.
Fowl Is a Sacrifice.
On September 26 occurs the feast OF
tabernacles. This is a real feast, a day
OF rejoicing. The symbols of the day
are the citron, the branches of palm
trees, myrtle boughs and willows. The
most strict observance of this day would
call upon members of the faith to dwell
in temporary houses, called sukkoth
during this season.
On October 3 will follow another feas,
day, Shemini Atzereth, or the feast OF
conclusion. 1t has no definite purpose
except to permit at an expression OF
gratitude at having been permitted to
observe the sacred days OF Yom Kippur
and Sukkoth.

Duck EGGS From Chtnn.

China and Japan are stated &c
raise more ducks than any countries
of the world. Their marshes, canals.
and rice fields fairly swarm with
ducks; consequently their eggs are
cheap In those countries. The Cal
nese have a way of preserving che
eggs by drying them whole, but Eu-
ropeans-es specially Germans ann
Be]gians-have assumed to improve
upon the Chinese method by taking
the yolks from fresh eggs and mix
Ing them with bOracic acid as a pre-
servative. This mixture was for
merly imported into this country In
large quantities, reaching the United
States nom China, via Belgium and
other European ports Since this
product was offered very cheap, bak-
err gladly purchased 1t in large
quantities, especially during egg
famines. DR., Wiley recently made 6
test OF samples of the stuff and his
deductions that it was extremely IN.
wholesome and Injurious to health
led him to take steps to prevent In
importation.
