WEDDING WILL TAKE PLACE
ON OCTOBER THIRD
Visit of Hattie Metech to Bedside of
Supposedly Dying Lover Causes
Her to Change Her Mind-Youth
Disfgured By Glass Eye, But That
Makes No Difference.
Especial to Lake County Tlmes.)

South Chicago, Sept. 23.-AIthough
Louis Sattler attempted to kill her and
put a bullet into her breast and another
one into his own head Miss Hattie Me-
tecki of 1924 Muskegon avenue, could
not withstand the pleadings of her
bandaged swathed lover when she
visited him as he lay in the South Chi
cago hospital. and Cupid won the day.
She refused him once but she regretted
her hasty words and they will now put
the last few words to the final chapter
on Oct. 8, when the wedding ceremony
will take place. Sattler was recently
discharged from the hospital, sadly
disfigured, but his ardor was not in the
least bit cooled and today at his home,
9606 Commercial avenue, he thinks
himself a lucky young man.
Sattler shot Miss Metecki in the
breast and then put a bullet in his
own head on the afternoon of Sunday.
August 20. The shooting occurred at
the home of Miss Metecki after she had
positively and finally refused to marry
sattler.
Both Thought Fatally Hurt.
Both OF the injured yoaA gpeopfe
were rushed to the South Chicago hos
pital. and it was feared for a while
that neither would recover Miss Me-
tecl1i's wound was not so serious. how
ever and after a short time she was
able to return to her home. Sattlers
injuries were more severe, and several
days after Miss Metecki was able to be
up word was taken to her that he was
dying.
Driven by an unexplainable impulse,
the girl endangered her own condition
by going out of the house and hurry
ing to the bedside of the man who had
sought to kill her. AS a result of that
interview which it was thought would
be their last, all their differences We're
patched UP.
Sattler was discharged from the hos
pital yesterday. His right eye has
been destroyed and he will have to
wear a glass one. But now that he is
regarded as entirely we'll. announce
ment of the approaching wedding has
been made to their friends. The cere-
mony will be performed at the Inimacu-
late Conception church. South Chicago,
on Oct. 3.
Girls Parents Give Cottage.
But, to cap the climax Miss Me-
teckrs parents. who are well to do.
have announced that they will give
them a pretty little cottage in Ex-
change avenue as wedding present.
and they can start to housekeeping
right away. All OF which is causing
Sattler to glory in his bad marksman-

menfia-Mr. Glover In Court.

Concord, n. II, Aug. I9.-The hearing
before board of masters to determine
the competency Of Mary Baker G. Eddy,
begun on July IS and adjourned to give
time to the plaintiffs to take dispositions,
was continued to-day in the presence of
large assemblage OF prominent Chris
tian Scientists from various sections OF
the country
\ great part of the day was taken up
by ex-senator William E. Chandler. eoun-
sci for George w. Glover. Mrs. Eddy S
only son. and for the other next friends
who brought the original bill in equity,
filed on March l.
Mr.. Glover and his daughter, Mary
Baker Glover, were in court, with a ma
iority Of the defendants named in the
bin. The morning was devoted by Sena-
tor Chandler to a resume OF the case as
far as it had proceeded in the Superior
Court when Judge Chamberlain suspended
proceedings for a mastership inquiry into
Mrs. Eddy's business capacity, saying
that the entire suit depends upon this
issue.
Says Defendants Block Dispositions.
Mr. Chandler contended that the de-
PENDANTS had blocked, as far as possible,
all attempts of the plaintiffs TO obtain in
formation by deposition; that it had not
been possible TO get any depositions In
New Hampshire, and that in Massachu-
setts the deposition OF Joseph Armstrong,
as Mrs. Eddys publisher. could not be
taken by reason of his illness, and that
his books and papers were also refused
when called for He also said that II
given an opportunity the good faith Of
the next friend in instituting the orig
inal suit would be fully established, and
all aspersions cast out in that direction
fully answered.
Senator Chandler continued with this
argument. and quoted extensively from
Mrs. Eddy's book to show that the author
had for long time been under the spell
CT delusions which have untitled her for
transacting business. He expounded az
great length his understanding of Mrs.
Eddy's theory of malicious animal mag
Retism He said that Mrs. Eddy was
suffering from systematized delusions ex-
tending over a long series Of years. which
is sure to culminate in senile dementia.

that the evidence to be produced from

wise his client that the penalties pre-
scribed for nOnobservance Of the State
