Gave Himself AWAY.

A Portland, Oregon dispatch of July
0th says: On the evening of July 4th a
drunken man came to the city Jail and
began talking to Captain hlther, who
was on watch. He was very much
under the influence of liquor, and made
the brag that he had killed Chinaman
in Chico. Luther Immediately locked
him up on the charge of drunk and
di$orderly conduct. The prisoner gave
the name of J. L. Keifer. In the
morning when sober he denied that his
name was Keifer, and gave Reynolds
as his name. Chief Lappens the next
morning telegraphed to Chico, asking
whether such person as Keifer, was
wanted for murder, and received an af-
firm ative answer; also that $500 was
offered for his arrest. Lappens tele-
graphed description, and was told to
mold him. Tonight officer Randall
arrived here from Chico, and identified
keifer as the murderer of Cninaman
in 1879. The prisoner refuses to be
interviewed and maintains silence to-
ward the reporters and officers. Moth
ing is known of him here except
that he came from the Dalles a few
days before the Fourth with band of
horses, which he sold.
