SAN FRANCISCO, August 23.-Af,er
the shooting of Kallooh by Charles
ID Young and the incarceration of the
latter, who barely escaped from the
hands of the Infatuated workingmen
by aid of police officers, with 10 severe
irjuries, the prison WAS surrounded by
\ mob, WITH the view of attach. The
police stretched ropes and prepared to
resist the attack. The chief of police
called Gen. McComb IN consultation
and Attorney General II milton, who
was present, and III .G:aphed 10 Gjv-
ernor IreWin for orders. M srswtI
has yet been received, as the Govern
or's exact whereabouts are not known.
Gen. McCnmb at once assumed respon-
sibili'y, and ordered the military to as
semble at their armories, where they
are now awaiting orders.
News of the tragedy spread like wild
fire through the city, and the streets
were soon crowded WITH cNcIted
throngs. Strong guards were placed
over the Chronicle business office, of
which paper DeY Young is editor, to PIE
cent Its being sacked.
NJ. H. DsYoung, who was at the
Chronicle at the time OF the shooting,
at once sought the city prison, where
he ls now in company with Charles.
For some time it was uncertain what
had been done with the brothers, many
believing that they had been removed
to Fort AlcatrsZ for greater safety, but
they are still at the prison and at the
-eduest OF q committee Of workIngmen
headed by Citus Blrbcu-, their candi-
date for Congress, they were above d
to select twelve men, who were sworn
in as special officers tn STAY about the
prison and see that the ID. Youugs were
not taken away. Pursuant to call, the
workingmen are now assembling. IT,
is announced they will marcI in a
body TO the prison and demand that
the DeYoungs be surrendered TO them,
anc if the demand Is not complied
and take them by force. l. Is very
doubtful, however, that such an at
tempt will be made, as the authorities
have made ample preparation aud the
building will be strongly defended.
At the latest accounts Kalloeh was
somewhat rasier, and one of the physi-
clans IN attendance addressed the
crowd, saying there was probability
of his recovery. Ga the contrary, an
other medical attendant states prjvs =
ly that he could not possibly live
through Tomorrow. K~lioch's f4mily
are at present out OF tie city. Great
fears are entertained for the peace Of
the city during the coming hight.
Every preparation is being made to
suppress violence. Public SCI ment
seems manly t = run against D-I"ung,
partly on account Of the manner of
escape and partly because the ChroaicIt
IN j assaults upon k4lloch has been
abusive beyond al precedent IN rollt!-
Gel campaigns. The circumstances
leading to the shooting OF K4ll'ch by
Charles D-Young are as follows: A
ter k2lloch was nomIDi d by The
workiDgmen of the city as their candi-
date fer mayor, Charles d. TOucg, in
speech at the State CONVEX 0u al tie

that he could tell W rse things sbou
