HIS LIFE

THE ASSASSIN BARELY ESCAPES THE MOB WITH
HIS LIFE.
The news that Charles De Young, of the
Chronicle, had assassinated Rev. Isaac s.
Kalloch, the Workingme MS candidate fol
Mayor of San Francisco, yesterday morning
created the profoundest sensation in this city.
At a later hour, however, it was ascertalned
that the cowardly assassin had not been success
full in his work, AS kalloch was only dangerously
wounded, and not killed outright, as was at
first reported. A very bitter feeling had
recently been engendered between Kalloch
and De Young, through the severe and I'M
called for articles which have appeared from
time to time, in the Chronicle, against Kali

Kalloch more mercilessly assaulted than
ever, and even his dead father was
dragged forth from his grave by the journalistic
| ghouls. In his speech on Friday night, Kali
| loch referred to the attack upon the memory
of his deceased father, stating that it justi-
fed him in referring to the progenitors of his
assailants, and he did 50 in a style that must
have been very unpaIatabe to the De Youngs,
for yesterday morning, Just as haliOch was
leaving the Metropolitan Temple, Charles De
Young, who was in the vicinity in covered
coupe, sent messenger, stating that he
wished to speak with him AS kalloch APP
preached De Young fred from the
coupe, hitting him in the breast just above
the heart Kalloch staggered and turned to
escape. De Young fired again, hit ting him
in the hip or thigh. A number of working
men who were present made a rus h for the
vehicle and tried to get De Young out but
he kept them at bay with his pistol. At
length the excited crowd overturned the coupe
and the occupant got out. At this juncture |
an officer appeared on the scene, but both he |
and De Young were roughly handled by the |
people. The latter was severely beaten and |
kicked about the head and person. After
great trouble, amid cries of "Hang the son of
a -" and " Kill him, the officer
and De Young managed to get into a
coupe and drive oft; but the crowd followed.
At the corner of Fifth and Market streets two
more officers made their appearance and with
their assistance De Young was taken to the
Baldwin Hotel, and escaping by another en-
