The Bloody CANYON.

A correspondent of The San Fran
CISCO Chronicle who has been exploring
the Sierras In the vicinity of the Yose-
mite thus describes the "bloody can
yon" which lies about forty miles
from the valley. Toward evening we
neared the head of the bloody canyon
at what is known as the Mono pass.
Never before had we gazed on such a
scene of barrenness and utter desola-
ton as that which was now open be-
fore us. Being so near night the effect
was doubly enhanced. To the west
the sun was yet an hour high and was
tinging here and there the snow COW
cred granite with blood-red spots.
while the shadow intervals were of the
color of blued steel, but to the east and
below us it was to all intents and pur-
poses night. An occasional sparkle at
our feet, very far below, denotes the
presence of lake, and the muffled
roar and hiss also told of waterfalls,
probably cascades in the outlets of the
various lakes, which. from description,
we know existed in this canyon, but
now could not see
The canyon is the usual V-shaped
gorge of all the California canyons.
But this one is a giant among pvgmies,
The northern slope is at least 5000
feet deep. and the southern one fully |
], 900 feet in depth. And we find from |
sketches made at the time that the |
lngle of the slopes is as sharp as 60 or
70 degrees, with many perpendicular
aces OF 800 or 1000 feet. Now, in
his evening light, the top of the great
lifts was of deep purple-red, with
'lack-purple shadows; the face to the
orth was series of great ridges,
INNING vertically in parallel lines to
he slant of the rock, and each ridge
etched and broken up into a series of
aw-lke indentations. The shadows

THE DEAF AND DUMB ACT.
How it Was Successfully Performed
Bya Criminal

EVANSVILLE, o., October 81 In the circuit
court at WoodSfeld, David Conger, who was
convicted of murder in the second degree, for
the killing of his wife, in June last, was sen.
fenced yesterday to the penitentiary for life
The murder was most brutal one, he killing
his young wife with an axe, because she inter-
fered in behalf of their siX-year old son, whom
he was bea'ing cruelty COnger made no great
effort to escape, ane was arrested soon after.
From the moment of his Incarceration until
the last words that dropped from the Judges
lips, which sealed his doom, the miserable man
had net spoken a word, or made an audible
noise with his tongue, feigning in
sanity. He played the deaf and dumb
acts success Sfully for more than fur months.
All efforts of the officers to make him speak
were fruitlesS. Even the severe shock from an
electric battery, which was applied in the hope
OF loo .ening his tongue, only caused him to
squirm with pain. Throughout the trial he
has been immOYal. and when sentence was
about to be pronounced officers had to lift him
to his feet. The last words of the nety-nine
years sentence had hardly echoed through the
court room, hOp ever, when thu mysterious
criminal, who had so long remained apparent
ly dumb, yelled out an avalanche of oaihs at
the court, and turning to the crowd said: II
have got MOI e sad and backbone than any of
you, and If you can stand it l can, too" He
was quickly hurried from the court room and
landed in his CELL but continue to shower
curses and abuses in screaming voice on al
mankind
