SAN FRANcIECo, Aug. 23.-Numberless
reports are atioat as to the circumstances at
tendant upon the shooting of Kalloch, but the
most direct story is that Charles De Young
drove to the Metropolitan Temple alone in a
coupe. Al the time Kalloch was about step
ping into the carriage with Carl Browne, De
Young sent the American district messenger
Berry to him to say that a gentleman wished
to speak with him. As Kalloch approached
the coupe De Young fired, hitting him in the
breast Just above the heart. Kalloch stagsei-
ed and turned to escape. De Young fired
again, hitting him in the hip or thigh. 1t
would appear that the trouble had been antic-
ipated, as quite a number OF working
men were in the vicinity of the lem
! pie. They at once made 4 rush for the coupe
seized the horses heads, and endeavored to
get De Young out, but he kept them at bay
for a moment with his pistol. Meantime the
officers arrived on the scene. IN crowd
seized the coupe and overturned it, and as 1t
went over De Young got out. He and the Of
fcer were at once attacked, the officer knock
ed down and tranpled upon, and De Young
beaten about the head, although it is thought
not seriously. When the officer drove off the
driver of the coupe struggled through the
crowd amid cries of Hang him!" Kill
him !" At the corner OF Fifth and Market
streets two more officers made their appear
ance, and with their assistance De Young was
taken to the Baldwin House, and, escaping by
another entrance, got into a carriage and
drove rapidly to the police station, the crowd
following. De Young wa at once taken to
one of the tank cells, while the crowd, NUM-
boring thousands, surrounded the prison and
cvinced a desire to make an attack. Mean
time police rapidly assembled, ropes were
stretched across the streets leading to the pris-
on, and every preparation made to resist an
attack. The Chiefof Police at once called
Gen. McComb in consultation, and Attorney
General Hamilton, who was present, tele'
gTaphcd to Governor Emery for orders.
No reply has yet been received, as the Gov
errors exact whereabouts are not known
Gen. McCombs at once assumed the response
bility, and ordered the military to assemble
at their armories, where they are now await
ing orders.
News of the tragedy spread like wild fiji
through the city and the street, were sooI
crowded with excited throngs. Stron;
guards were placed over the Chronicle bust
ness and printing offices 10 prevent then
being sacked. NJ. ii. De Young, who wa
at the Chronicle office al the time of tin
, shooting, at once sought the city prison wher'
