He said that generally the rela

He also referred to the ecclesiastical
courts, saying that under the Spanish
rule the members of tho religious or

which they were concerned tried in
thoes courts rather than in tho regu

H. B. Matteson’s Peculations Extended
for Period of Three Years.
Helena, Mont., Feb. 19.—A special to
The Independent from Great Fails,
Mont., says that H. H. Matteson,
on Jan. 5 confessed to embezzling $75,-
000 from the First National bank while
acting as cashier, is now known to
have taken $178,000, his operations
tending over three years. Tho facts
were made known at a meeting of the
bank directors yesterday and another
complaint was sworn out against Mat
teson, who was out on $5,000 bail. He
was taken before a c omnilssloner and
his bond fixed at $15,000, the new
charge being that he embezzled $85,-
000 on Oct. 20.
Matteson was not found until late
last night. He could not furnish the
new bond and he will probably be
taken to Helena and lodged in Jail.
National Bank Examiner I.azeer
states that If Matteson should secure
bail on the second charge he will be
at once rearrested on a charge of em
bezzling $18,000. The bank officers
became convinced that Matteson was
preparing to leave, and that was the
principal reason for having him arrest
ed on a second charge and having the
bail increased. It now develops that
tho embezzlements began in Dec. 1898.
