SAN Francisco, August 23.--Iast
night Rev. |. S. Kalloch defended him
! self before an immense audience against
charges, thirty years old, preferred
against him for immortality, by the
Chronicle. He said these charges were
revived BY Charles and Mike DeYoung,
two bastard sons of u prostitute. This
morning, Charles DeYoung drove in a
covered coupe in front Of the private
entrance Of the Metropolitan Temple,
where kalloch has room, ard sent Il
messengor-boy, asking him to come out
kalloch appeared on the sidewalk, when
DeYoung shot him in the breast. KaI-
loch returned to retreat indoors, when
DoYoung shot him in the back. 1t is
believed Kalloch is dead. A crowd inn
mediately seized the carriage in which
was DcYoung, turned il over, and tore
him out. He was dreadfully kicked and
bruised, and would undoubtedly have
been killed upon the spot, had not an un-
usual number of policemen como sud
denly to the rescue, and hurried him to
jail. The city is intensely excited. The
police did not think DeYoung safe in the
jail, and had made arrangements to hur-
ry him to Fort Alcatarz, when the in
tention became known to the people.
At present the spirit Of the multitude is
aroused to prevent the removal of De
Young from Jail. There never was a
time when San Francisco was more an
CRY.
Tho circumstances leading to the
shooting of Kalloch by Charles De
Young, are as follows After Kalloeh
was nominated by the workingmen OF
the city as their candidate for mayor,
Charles DcYoung, in speech at the
state convention OF honorable bilks, an
nounced that he would compel Kalloch's s
withdral from tho contest. Subsequent
ly he notified Kalloch that he would rake
up his record in the columns of the
Chronicle. Kalloch sent him back word
to go ahead and that he could tell
worse things on the DeYoungs than they
could bring against him. Wednesday
last the Chronicle came out with long
article, reviewing Kalloch's career in
Boston and Kansas, dwelling particular
ly upon his reported amours also ven
tiatng his political and business record.
The same paper of Thursday and Fri.
day contained similar and more eabor-
ate articles, dragging in Kalloch's father
now dead, and recounting certain immo-
ralities on his part. kalloch had adver-
tised mass-mceting at the Metropolitan
fap Al loot ni.,ht nj .r,ipb II oiy n
out that he would read a copy of an arti-
Gle, published some five years ago, by
Benjamin +. Gaphtaly, in "a little paper
called the Sun. This article was an at
tack upon the personal aud family rec
ord of the DcYoungs, OF the most pro-
nounced character, and led to an attempt
to kill Naphtal y, which failed. The
DeYoungs sent KaIloch word that if he
read that article they would shoot him
on sight Last night an immense audi
ence gathered at the Metropolitan tenn
pie and street Outside packed Il crowd
numbering q thousand. Kaloch ad-
dressed the indoor meeting, scoring the
DeYoungs merciless " and rejecting on
their personal record ana family antece-
dents in the most direct manner After
adjourning the meeting in the hall, he
went outside, mounted ,he stand, and
spoke briefly. After reviewing the at
tacks of the Chronicle upon himself, he
said : i" In malgning the reputation Of
my father, who has flied an honorable
grave for many years, these journalistic
vipers have rendered most vicious retail
alton on my part necessary and justltia-
bic. These disgraceful records make
such an attack possible, and | am justifi
ed in pronouncing them the bastard pro
geny OF prostitute He said he had
the article in his pocket tcries OF read
it read it!'], but he did not wish to OK
pend all his ammunition at once. 1t
would be published Immediately in full
in tho workingmen's paper, and next
Tuesday evening he would take it up,
and comment upon it. Charles DeYonna
evidently considered the proceedings u
the evening provoeation equa. to the
actual reading of the article, and ,tcd
accordingly.
