'FRISCO'S FRACAS.
THE AGONY IS ABOUT ENDED.
Kalloch Recovering = DeYoung Held
for Intent to Kiil-"Specials"
Still on Guard-No Trouble
Anticipated.


ers of the workingmen's party held a
conference with Kalloch's medical at
tendants to-day to consider the expedi-
ency of putting up some other man for
mayor. The physicians informed them
that at presedt they saw nothing in the
condition of Kalloch to render such q
course necessary, intimating the proba-
bility of his early recovery.
Charles DeYoung was brought before
the police court to-day, and waiving
examination, was held to answer to
the charge of assault to murder, with
out bail.
The excitement of the past few days
has toned down to a deep interest in
the result of Kalloch's wounds, and the
universal inquiry on the street is as to
his condition. This afternoon decid-
ed change for the better was noticeable,
as the result of which the physicians
express their opinion that there is
strong probability of his recovery.
Notwithstanding these favorable symp-
toms there is still a good deal of talk
among the workingmen as to the course
to be pursued in the event of fatal
termination of the shooting. Among
the rank and file there is strong de-
sire visible to put up Kearney for may
or, should change become necessary,
but this desire is shared neither by the
agitator nor his friends, and it may be
considered certain that nothing OF the
kind will be done.
At the police station the vigilance
has been relaxed during the day, and
only few officers are on duty and a
few military men. The workingmen's
specials who were sworn in for the pur-
pose Of making sure that De Young is
not spirited away still remain on duty.
A crowd has fingered around the
Metropolitan temple all day, but other
wise there have been no street assem-
blages except few around the bulletin
boards.
How the Shooting Occurred.
The messenger boy who accompanied
DeYoung in the coupe, on being inter-
viewed, after describing the drive from
the district office, gives the following
version af the shooting: Before reach
ing Fifth street DeYoung lowered the
window of the coupe. We turned
down Jessie street to the Jessie entrance
to the temple, passing buggy before
stopping. When we stopped DeYoung
peeked through the curtain of the rear
window of the coupe and said, 'you
see that man with white ulster on,
tell him that lady in the coupe wants
to see him." The gentleman in the
ulster was in buggy accompanied by
another man, and was in the act of
picking up the reins when delivered
DeYoung's message He at once
stepped down and approached the
coupe cautiously. as if he appeared to
anticipate something wrong, peering
sideways at the windows of the coupe.
When he approached the coupe shot
was fred, which so frightened me that
l ran rs fast as l could back to the
Office. He had not read the account in
the papers of the impending difficulty
between DeYoung and Kalloch. He
did not suspect at any time during the
ride that the person with him in the
coupe intended to do anybody any
harm. The gentleman was cool, and
there was nothing about his person to
indicate that he contemplated the deed
that was committed.
