mia Murder.

SAN Francisco, Aprilg25.-The
Call, after brief reference to the
circumstances Of the De Young
murder says: s"The sentiment OF
law abiding citizens is one of re-
gret that the law was not trusted to
right whatever wrong may have
been committed. 1t is high time
the public should find some means
to put stop to these personal
wrangles, which keep society in q
ferment. We have tolerated them
too long, and the natural result is,
such tragedies as we have now to
record. !" . r.7a- etE ta
The Alta says: "Thc killing of
Young was vulgar assassination
and a dark blot on San Francisco.
The record of the dead man was far
from blameless, but be on whose ac-
count the crime was committed was
not irreproachable in reputation or
reticent in speech, and had little ex>
cuse to have SANDER against him
avenged by bullet. 1t is a great
misfortune for San Francisco that
any Of the parties made their home
here. and the community is sick Of
malignant personal abuse drawn
from secrets of private life, and of
allowing the party who adopts that
mode Of warfare, aud finds himself
beaten at it, to get even by murder.
Indignant public opinion and the
memorable rigor Of the law should
insist that such offenses be no longer
committed with impunity.
The Post publishes an interview
with M. IL. De Young, a brother of
the murdered man, who said he did
not know what was the immediate
cause of the shooting. Thought
Kalloch had no reason to think his
brother had anything to do with
circulating the pamphlets rejecting
sgainst Kalloch's father. Said he
and his brother did not even know
they were in circulation until shown
by friend. Thought Mr.. Slim
minis, editor of the Kansas Newspa>
per Echo, o,who accuses Mayor Kaloch
Of swindling him out of $l4, 900,
put them in circulation.
Young Kallocb, on being ques,
toned, declined to state whether he
had evidence that DeYoung was the
instgator of the phamhlet.
There has been no excitement in
the city, except that naturally at
tendant upon such a tragedy, and
any attempt at violence, as has
been reported, is absolutely un-
thoughtof.
The Bulletin of this evening,
after reviewing briefly the whole
Kalloch-DeYou Young quarrel, says:
"Ths causes which lie at the bottom
of the feud are reckless journalism
on one hand and border politics on
the other. There is a line in
journalism which can not be over
stepped without provoking retalia-
tion; it is, in large sense, the
death line. The public acts of
public persons are just subjects of
public criticism, but even that
latitude is not justified, if personal
malice is the leading motive"
Young Kalloch was brought before
the police court this forenoon, his
father accompanying him, and his
case was continued until next Thurs
day. AS further indication of the
tenor of public opinion, it may be
noted that many Of the better class
of citizens, though not expressing
any sympathy for DeYoung, exhibit
a strong feeling Of indignation in a
general way, against the Kallochs,
considering their whole course in
the quarrel eminently Objectionable,
and expressing the belief that it is
time the citizens were rid of them,
in the interest of responsibility,
peace and good order. 1t is rumored
that the friends Of Mr.. Kalloch are
guarding his residence this evening,
anticipating an attempt on, the part
of Nike DeYoung to assassinate
Kalloch. c ss+
