INTENSE excitement existed in San
Francisco on the oath over the shooting of
Rev. l. 8. Kalloch, the Workingmen's candi
date for Mayor. by Charles De Young, one Of
the proprietors of the Chronicle Of that city.
1t seems that for several days the Chronicle
had been assailing the private character of
Kalloch and Of his father, who had also been
minister, and had reproduced the charges of
immoral conduct against him while in the
pulpit in Boston and Kansas. On the night
Of the 22d Kalloch, in public speech, replied
With an equally bitter assault, In which he
applied the most obscene epithet to the De
Young Brothers, the proprietors of the
Chronicle, and rejecting upon the character
OF their mother: The next morning Charles
De Young drove In covered coupe in
front of Kalloch's study-room and sent in a
messenger asking him to come out Kalloch,
not knowing who had sent for him, immedi-
ately appeared on the sidewalk. when De
Young shot him in the breast. A crowd
speedily gathered and severely handled De
Young, who would have probably been killed
had not the police rescued him. Kalloch was
shot In the left lung just above the heart, and
also received slight wound in the hip.
He vas alive on the night Of the 24th, and
might POSSIBLY survive the wound because Of
bis strong constitution.
