Was Thought Dead in 1870.

News from source that is considered
thoroughly reliable has been received
from Crookston, Mimi, recently. TO
the effect that Joseph Matthews.
who as deputy treasurer of Polk coun-
ty, defaulted to the extent of about
$1,000, and who was thought to have died
in a London hotel in 1893 is alive and
expects in a comparatively short time
to return to Crookston, to reimburse the
bondsmen of County Treasure Beaudry.
who settled with Polk county. Matthews
disappeared in 1879, while he was act
ing as deputy treasurer, and was never
seen here again. A man was found dead
in London hotel. Matthews watch and
ring were found upon the dead man, to-
gether with other papers. Now it is
thought that Matthews was in London
at the time and changed clothing with
the dead man to confuse Identification.
One serious complication that will arise
if the story is true is the fact that Mrs.
Matthews collected $1,000 life insurance
and, not long after his supposed death.
married another man.
