MELoDRAMAyIc.-About six o'clock last eve
ming man entered the Office of the United
States Hotel, advanced to the desk and regis
tered his name as A. NJ. Jimenez. He seemed
unable or unwilling to converse freely. merely
saying to the clerk in attendance, 'sWant key"
As the man had no baggage the clerk intimat-
ed that he could add much to the cordiality of
his reception by making slight pecuniary de-
posit in the shape of prepayment for his nights
lodging. To this the stranger demurred, where

man then drew out large roll of bills from
his breast pocket and paid for room, to which
he was immediately shown, as he stated his
wish to receive some friends. After reaching
his room he attempted to drag the hall-boy into
it, and upon the boy resisting, he displayed
knife. Soon after he came down to the office
and began to pace to and fro, saying never a
word, but eying the people about him in a m an
ner not at all pleasant. While walking he
busted himself playing with his knife, drawing
it from his pocket and at the same time cast
ing sinister g]ances upon the persons assembled
in the room. In short he played the melo-
dramatic villain to perfection. But the guests
didn't enjoy the acting half as well as though
it were being played ON the boards of theatre,
and they soon began to feel apprehensive, SO
the police were sent for. Deputies Sterling
and Williams soon arrived, arrested him and
took him to the police station. He offered no
resistance but went with the officers without
word. On reaching the station he was search
ed, and open pocket knife and card bear
ing the name of Antonio NJ Jimenez were
found upon him. No pistol was discovered
though gentleman at the hotel asserts that
he saw him display one.
The prisoner vouchsafed no explanation.
The most charitable supposition is that he is
insane. The officers think him to be the same
man that drew pistol on a Portland merchant
in the Pullman car the other night. He is a
man apparently about thirty years of age, dark
complexion, medium height, Withholding rest
less eyes, is Of gentlemanly appearance and
richly dressed, and wears moustache and
mutton-chop whiskers. He says that he is a
Cuban by birth, and left that island about
three years ago. since which time he has been

and coat check belonging to the fremont
