Details Of tho SAN Francisco Shooting
Affair The Workingmen's Candidate
Dangerously Wounded.

San Francisco, Aug. 23.-Last night Rev. |
Jas. Kolloch defended himself before an
immense audience, against charges thirty
years old of immortality, preferred against
him by the Chronicle. He said these
charges were revived by Charles and Mike
De Young, two bastard sons of prostitute
This morning Charles DeYoung drove in a
covered coupe in front of the private en-
trance of the Metropolitan temple, where
kolloch has study room, and sent in a
messenger boy, asking him TO come out.
Kolloch Immediately appeared on the side
walk, when DeY Young shot him in the breast
Kolloch turned to retreat in the door when
DeY oung shot him in the back. IL is be-
lieved Kolloch is dead. A crowd imme-
diately seized the carriage in which was De
Young, turned it over and tore him out.
He was dreadfully kicked and bruised and
would no doubt have been killed ON the
spot had not an unusual number of policeman
come suddenly to the rescue and hurried
him to Jail. The city is intensely excited
The police did not think DeYoung safe
in Jail and had made arrangements to bring
him TO Fort Alcatrtz, when the intention
became known to the people. At present
the spirit of the multitude is aroused to pre-
vent any removal of De Young from Jail.
There was never time when San Francisco
was more angry.
LArER-Kolloeh is shot through the left
lung just above the heart. Physicians say
that with his strong constitution there is a
bare possibility of his recovery. The mil.
itary are under arms and the police on duty
in the event of disturbance. The circum-
stances leading to the shooting of Kolloch
by Charles DeYoung were as follows: At
ter kolloch was nominated by the working
men Of the city as their candidate for mayor,
Charles DeYoung, in speech at the state
convention Of honorable bilks, announced
that he would compel kolloch's withdrawal
from the contest. Subsequently he notified
kolloch that unless he withdrew he would
rake up his record in the columns of the
Chronicle. Kolloch sent back word for him
to 60 ahead, that he could tell worse things
about the DeYoungs than they could bring
against him.
Wednesday last the Chronicle came out
with long article reviewing Kolloch' career
In Boston and Kansas, dwelling psr,icu
larly on his reported amours and also ven
tilatine his political record Thursday and
Friday the Chronicle contained similar and
more elaborate articles and dragged in

suodry immoralities on his part. Kolloch
had advertised mas meeting at the Metro
politan temple last night at which it was
given out that he would read copy of the
article published some five years ago by 3.
r. Naph'aly 10 little newspaper called the
Sun.
This article was an attack upon .he per.
sonal.and family record OF the De Youngs
OF the most pronounced character. and led
to an attempt on their part u kill Nsphtaly,
which failed. The DeYoung's sent Kol.
loch word that if he read that article they
| would shoot him on sight.
Last night an immense audience gather
ed at the temple, aud the street outside
was packed with crowd numbering thous.
ands kelloch addressed the indoor meet
ing. scoring the DeYoun9's mercilessly and
rejecting on their personal record and fam.

spoke briefly. After reviewing The attack
OF the Chronicle upon himself, he said 10
mailgnmg the reputation Of my father, who
has flled an honorable grave for many
years, these Journalistic vipers have rem
