WHO WAS c, JOdNSOa2
Was an Imprisoned Suicide
Buried Under a Wrong
Name?
He Is Believed to Have Been a Con.
vict or Criminal of Some
Kind.

ALAMEDA, CAL, April 10.-A queer
discovery has been made in connection
with the suicide OF the man calling him
self &c. Johnson" who killed himself in
cell in the City Jail the other night by
turning on the gas. For some reason the
officers did not believe that Johnson was
his real name, and in searching for some
clew to 1t the name of sc Muller was
found scratched on the wall of the ia
cell. Some one also recognized the man
as one Miller, who had at one time been
employed as an engineer at the artes1an-
we'll works. So the Coroner's Jury, after
listening to the evidence and the sur
misses, brought in verdict that deceased
was named G. Muller, and he was accord
ingls buried under that name.
Now 1t trRnspires that G. Muller is none
other than the San Francisco clam-d gger
who filled Chinaman with buckshot over
near Bay Farm Island week or so ago
and who was locked up in the cell where
johnson afterward killed himself, and
while there must have whiled away his
time scribbling his name on the wall.
The officers are inclined to believe that
Johnson was an escaped convict or crlm.
mai OF some kind and was afraid of being
recognized should he come 10 trial.
Hence they have had photos made and
sent out over the State in order to obtain
some clew as to the suicide's identity.

FOR STARTING THE FIRE.
The Use 60 which the Fisherman Puts Ills
Discarded Nets.


Discarded Nets.
In the majority of households an old
newspaper is the material most ccn-
nnnly used 70 start a fire, and the cd
5ustment Of this material is a matter Of
considerable art There should be enough
of it TO make flame sufficient to ignite
the wood laid upon it, and it should be
put in with just the right degree Of
locseness so that the air will circulate
through il and make il burn freely and
TO the best advantage. But there are
houses in which paper is never used for
this purpose-the homes of fishermen.
Here year in and year out day after
dav. the fire is started with chunk OF
discarded tarred netting, and there Is
nothing like it.
When q net gets tender, so that 1t Is
| likely TO burst when a body Of kelp or
seaweed floats against it in tide way,
or to break with big catch Of fish, it
is condemned. It may be whole and
look all right but it doesn't pay to take
any risks with it. Some fishermen using
a considerable number Of nets may have
half ton of such netting in year.

some Of it. Formerly they sold it for
junk and they do so now occasionally,
though not so much as they did. It
brings a cent pound.
This netting has been tarred again
and again with fine, thin tar and it Is
thoroughly saturated. The net may be
6 feet deep. A length Of it is rolled up,
and the roll is then flattened down. The
Aattened roll may be 6 inches wide, and
it is cut off with an ak into chunks OF
perhaps a foot in length, just enough tc
t lie nicely ON the CRATE OF a kitchen
