" Of this State, was shot. kalloch Is
the workingmen's candidate for Mayor,
as he is the pastor Of the Baptist Tenn
pie. the finest church structure on the
Pacific coast. The Mayoralty fight has
been very exciting between the Demo
Gratis, Republicans and Workingmen.
The editors of the daily Chronicle, the
DE Young brothers, threatened kallcch
that they would publish the charges
made against him in Boston thirty years
ago. kallock replied that if they gave
publicity TO that batch Of old lies he
would read to a public meeting charges

the breast. kalloch then turned to
retreat, when DeYoung shot him in the
back. A crowd Immediately seized the
carriage in which DeIoung was, turned
