Rev. i. Kalloch Shot.

| He said these charges were revived by
Charles and Mike De Young, two bas-
tard sons of prostitute. This morning
| Charles De Young drove in front of the
private entrance of the Metropolitan
temple, where Kalloch has rooms, and
sent a messenger boy asking him TO
come out. Kalloch Immediately ap-
peared on the sidewalk, when De Young
shot him in the breast. Kalloch turned
to retreat indoors when De Young
shot him in the back. A crowd immedi.
ately seized the carriage in which was
De Young, turned it over and tore him
out. He was dreadfuliy kicked and
bruised, and would no doubt have been
killed on the spot had not an unusual
number of police come suddenly to the
rescue and hurried him to Jail. The city
is intensely excited. The police did not
think De Young safe in Jail, and had
made arrangements to hurry him to
Fort AlcatraZa, when the intention be.
came known to the people. At present
the spirit of the multitude is aroused
to preventany removal of De Young from
IjaIl. There was never q time when San
Francisco was more angry.
Kalloch is shot through the left lung,
| just above the the heart. His physicians
say that with his strong constitution
there is bare possibility of his recovery
The military Is under arms and the pO-
lice are on duty in the event of disturb
ance. News of the tragedy spread like
wild-fire through 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 from being sacked.
M. II. De Young, who was at the Chron-
| icle office at the time of the shooting, at
Norhf fINa L.
now in company with Charles.
The circumstances leading to the
shooting of KallOch by Chas. De Young
are as follows: After KallOch was nOm-
| mated by the Workingmen OF the city as
their candidate. for mayor, Chas. De
Young, in speech at the state cOnven-
| ton of Honorable Bilks, announced that
he would compel KallOch TO withdraw
from the contest. Subsequently he no.
titled KallOch that unless he Withdrew he
would rake up his record in the columns
of the Chronicle. KallOch sent back
word for him to go ahead, that he could
tell worse things about the De Youngs
than they could bring against him.
Wednesday last the Chronicle came out
with a long article reviewing KallOch's
career in Boston and Kansas, dwelling
particularly upon his reported amours !;
also ventilating his political and bust
ness record. Thursday and Friday it
contained similar and more elaborate ar
ticles, and dragged in Kalloch's father,
now dead, recounting sundry immorali-
ties on his part. Kalloch had advertised
u mass meeting at the Metropolitan tenn
pie last night at which it was given out
he would read copy of an article pub
lished five years ago by b. +. Naphtaly,
in little paper called the Sun This
article was an attack upon the personal
and family record of the De YOungS of
a most pronounced character, and led to
an attempt on their part to kill Naphtaly,
which failed. The De YOungs sent
KallOch word ffhe read that article they
would shoot him on sight. Last night
an immense audience gathered at the
Metropolitan temple and the street out
side was packed with a crowd number
ing thousands. Kalloch addressed the
indoor meeting, scoring the De Youngs
mercilessly and rejecting on their per-
sOnal record and family antecedents
in the most direct manner. After adj
journing the meeting in the hall he went
outside, mounted stand and spoke
briefly. After reviewing the attacks of
the Chronicle upon himself, he said /:
I'm maligning the reputation of my faith
er, who has filled an honorable grave for
many years, these journalistic vipers
have rendered most vicious Fetallia-
ton on my part necessary and justifia-
bic. Their disgraceful record make such
an attack possible, and l am justified in
pronouncing them the bastard progeny
of a prostitute" He said he had the Sun
article in his pocket. (Cries of Read
it" Read itrO But he did not wish to
eXpend all his ammunition at once. 1t
would be published Immediately in full
in the wOrkingmens' paper, The Open
Letter, and next Tuesday evening he
would take it up and comment upon it.
Charles De Young evidently considered
the proceedings of the evening equal
prOvacatiOn to the actual reading Of the
| article and acted accordingly.
The evening Journals counsel above
all things moderation on the part of the
workIngInen, tor the credit of the CITY
and also for their own sake on account
of the bearing of their action on the re-
suit of the present campaign. The
Bulletin says, in effect, that the shooting
was deliberate assassination, and re.
minds its readers that twenty-three
years ago the people of the city hanged a
man who killed an editor who dared to
express his convictions, but that now the
law of society seems to be that an editor
may say what he pleases, but if the as
saulted party talks, his life is to be for
feited; but warns the workingmen that
the course they pursue will be the best
evidence of their ability to administer
the affairs Of the city, and that resort
TO violence would be a fatal mistake.
| At @ 80 in the afternoon Kalloch was
in much improved condition. A
slight examination has been made and
physicians express the opinion that there
are good grounds for expecting his re-
cOvery. The tragedy has almost par
alyzed business during the day Tele-
grams were pouring in from all over
the state inquiring as to the condition of
affairs, and almost an equal interest is
reported from Nevada
| Kearney arrived on the Vallejo boat
this evening. At the wharf he was met
by a crowd of several thousand who re-
ceived their leader with almost frantic
exhibitions ofjoy. Three of the working
mems military companies, numbering
! 100 men, with rifles and fixed bayOnets,
/ were on hand as an escort. With Kear-
| ney at their head the procession started
towards the sand lots, filling the street
for several blocks and making the air
ring with cheers Tor KeaFney, and cries
of Hang DE Young."
