E. church, officiated by the pastor Bev. E. H. Frycklund, 011 Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. 111. Interment in Mt. Ash cemetery. Judge Metzger Violently Assaulted. The principal features of an argu ment that took place in court cham bers at Williamsport on Friday last before Judge Metzger, was the force and brutal manner in which it was conducted on the part of Atty. N.M. Edwards, a well known member of the bar who has served as City Solic itor and Dist. Atty. and is now Dem ocratic candidate for Congressnian-at 112 Large. ' The case of Mrs. Deedmeyer against her husband, an action in divorce , has been going through the various 1 stages and last week the parties noti fied the court that they had agreed upon a settlement. Thursday Mr. . Deedmeyer appeared before the court C in chambers and presented the papers properly signed and were accoptinl I by the court. 011 Friday Mr. Edwards, who was , Mrs. Deedmeyer's attorney came in the court of chambers and dropped the latch 011 the door. A few words were passed about the settlement of the Deedmeyer case in which Ed wards accused the court of advising the settlement and had instructed I Mrs. Deedmeyer not to consult with r her counsel. The court said that it t was a lie. Edwards wanted to know if he was calling him a liar. The 1 court replied that he referred to the . statement as a lie. Edwards picked 1 up a glass ink well and let it drive at the Judge. The Judge was seated and the well struck him and ink spattered over his shirt front and over the docket 011 which he bail 1 l>een working. The Judge rose from bis seat and the ink well was follow ed by tin* iron ink stand and also a * drinking glass. The Judge raised his left hand to protect his face and " the glass struck him on the hand 1 badly lacerating two of his fingers. The Judge had by this time walked s around his desk when Edwards ap •' proaehed and struck the Judge in I.the face with his fist. Edwards was r reaching his hand to his hip pocket as though lie intended pulling a r weapon just as Court Crier Gulliver y entered the room, letting himself in l> by unlocking the door, j. There is little being said by either „ the Judge or Edwards as to the mail e ner of proceedings this unfortunate I affair will bring about. J —C. 11.
