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
staggered and turned to escape. De Young
fired again, hitting him in the hip or thigh.
1t would appear that the trouble had been
anticipated, as quite a number OF working
men were in the vicinity of the Temple.
They at once made a rush lor 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. Mean
time the officers arrived on the scene. The
crowd seized the coupe, and overturned it,
and as it went over De Young got out. He
and the officer were at once attacked, the
officer knocked down and trampled upon,
and De Young beaten about the head, al
though it is thought not seriously. When
the officer drove or the driver of the coupe
struggled through the Grove amid cries of
Hang him - 'Kill him - At the corner
of Fifth and Market streets two more of
ficers made their appearance, and with
their assistance De Young vas taken to the
Baldwin House, and, escaping by another
entrance, got into a carriage and drove rap
idly to the police station, the crowd fol-
lowing. The circumstances leading to the
shooting are as follows: After Kalloch was
nominated by the Workingmen of the city
as their candidate for Mayor, Charles De
Young in a speech at a convention of the
Honorable Bilks, announced that he would
compel Kalloch's withdrawal from the con-
test. Subsequently he notified 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 more things about
the De Youngs than they could bring
against him. On Wednesday last the
Chronicle came out with a long article re-
viewing Kalloch's career in Boston and
Kansas, dwelling particularly on his amonrs
and also yentilating his political and bust
ness record. Thursdays and Fridays
Chronicle contained similar and more elabo-
rate articles, and draggedin Kalloch's faith
err, now dead, reconnting sundry immorali-
on his part.
Kalloch had advertised a mass meeting at
the Metropolitan Temple last night, at
which it was given out he would read a
copy Of an article published some five years
ago by BE. Napthali in a 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 atte mpt on their part to kill
Napthali, which failed, The De Youngs
s ent Kalloch word that if he read that arti-
Gle they would shoot him on sight.
Last night an immense audience gathered
at the Metropolitan Temple, and the street
outside was packed with a crowd number
ing thousands. Kalloch addressed the in
door meeting, scoring the De Youngs mer-
cilessly, and rejecting on their personal
record and family antecedents in a direct
manner.
After adjourning the meeting in the hall
he went outside, mounted a stand and
spoke. Directly after reviewing the attacks
of the Chronicle upon himself, he said: I'm
maligning the reputation of my father who
has filled an honorable grave for many
years, these journal yipers have rendered
the most vicious retaliation on my part nee
essary and UNSUITABLE. Their disgraceful
records made such an attack possible, and |
justified in p%ronouncing them the bastard
progeny of a."
He said he had an article in his pocket,
(Cries of Read it Read it ~ but did not
wish to expend all his ammunition at once.
