Kalloch defended himself before
An immense audience against charges
of thirty years OF immortality,
preferred against him by the Chronicle.
He said that these charges were re-
vived by CHARLES and Mike De Young,
bastard sons OF prostitute.
This morning, Charles De Young
drove in covered coupe to the front of
the private entrance ofthe Metropolitan
Temple, where Kallock bad y study
room, and sent up messenger boy,
asking him to come out; kallock i'm
mediately appeared on the sidewalk,
when De Young shot him in the breast.
kallock turned TO retreat indoors,
when De Young shot him III the back
II is believed KalIock is dead. A crowd
immediately seized the carriage in
which was De Young, turned it over,
and tore him out. He was dreadfully
kicked and bruised, and would doubt
less have been killed on the spot, had
not an unusual number of policemen
come suddenly to the rescue and hur-
ried him to Jail.
The city is intensely excited and the
police not thinking that De Young was
safe in the Jail, made arrangements to
hurry him to Fort Bleatraz, when the
intention became known TO the people.
At present the spirit of the multitude is
aroused to prevent any removal of De
Young from the Jail. There was new

angry. In accordance with notices
posted on the streets, the working
men assembled in immense num-
bers at sand lots" and by
two O'clock, Notwithstanding the crowds
gathered in the streets, over ten thous-
and excited men were gathered around
A rude rostrum, shouting, cursing, and
calling for the blood of kalloch's assas-
sin. Illitus Barbour took the stand
and addressed the meeting, earnestly
urging the working men To await the
arrival of Kearney, before taking
further steps. The crowd, however, were
eager for action and listened with bad
grace to all the arguments tending to
delay their vengeance. Barbour con-
tinued dwelling upon the fact that they
we're unorganized, and in no condition
to cope with the police and military.
In reply the crowd demanded to he led

and demolsh the Chronicle office. Bar
bour informed them that the presidents
of the ward clubs were i'll session and
had decided to wait the arrival of
kearney, but that if kallock died they
were fully determined to hang De
Young without delay. Tremendous
cheers greeted this announce

the party, addressed the crowd in
the same strain. A dispatch

the city, and the streets were soon
crowded with excited throngs. Strong
guards were placed over the Chronicle
business and printing offices to prevent
them being sacked. w. II. De Young,
who was at the Cluonlie office at the time
Of the shooting, at once sought the city
prison where he is now in company
with Charles. For some time it was
uncertain what had been done with the
brothers, many believing that they had
been removed to Fort Alacatrase for
greater safety, but they are still at pris-
