cited his jealousy by becoming
prominent. He severed his rpla-

Lon,.k. Arrested In Butte. Is Found Guilty

OF Forgery.
From the Helena Journal,
DIR. Nathan L. Lonick, late of New York,
later of the county jail, was yesterday
tried for forgery, and the jury took six
minutes i'm making up their verdict. The
prisoner is n very unusual character. He
is an accomplished linguist, n man Of high
scholarly attainments, and Of striking
personal appearance. His face and cx-
preston forcibly suggest General John A.
logan, except that he is fair rather than
swarthy, and his long hair falls in grace
ful:curls around his neck. Attired i'm
faultless linen and a silk hat. he was not
a man to be taken for a Jail bird. Since
coming here and getting into trouble he
has been reticent about his connections
in New York, evidently desiring To keep
them ignorant of his disgrace.
Thu indictment against him charges
that on October II last he forged "A certi-
fed check on the Second National bank
Of New York for $3.50, forging the names of
Rcinhardt brothers and III. Darandt. as
sistant cashier Of the bank, and that he
passed the same on John II. Hardwick of
The Exchange. The evidence against
him was overwhelming. The check was
eashed by Hardwick and deposited with
the First National bank. Telegraphic i'm

the check wal given him by an imaginary
ina named Wilson, who had boarded
with his family in New York city for three
real and was cashier of n large whole
sale establishment in that city. His evil
denee was unsupported. Lonick repre-
scented himself as the representative Of a
wealthy syndicate of Gotham CAPITALISTS
and gave IL out hat he was in the West 10
invest n few tritiing millions. The money
sccurel on the bogus check was blown
into the faro bank. The Jury left the

Effect Of military discipline.

From the New York Tribune.
A group of army men were discussing
the other day the reverence which General
Sheridan mt all times exhibited toward
General Grant. To illustrate this trait Of
General Shcridan's one of the company
related the following incident:
general Grant and General Sheridan
were travelling In q steamboat together,
accompanied by other officers. Among
the passengers was q young Englishman
who frequently used TO take q hand at
poker with the distinguished travellers.
The limit usually was 20 cents. On one
occasion the EnRlishman wanted to get
up to light n cigar, and requested General
Sheridan to play his hanc, which con-
sisted Of four jacks pat, for him. On the
Englishman's return he asked how his
hand had panned out.
"'Oh," said Sheridan, the general
meaning Grant, bet me 50 cents, and I
called him and won you the pot
"The Englishman looked al him i'm am
azement, and then suffered out:
"Well, I've heard of military discipline,
but I'm hanged IL l eve heard OF IL going
that far.'n
