j. M. KALLOCH, son of Mayor kallOCh,
of San Francisco, shot and killed Chas.
De Young, senior proprietor of the San
Francisco Chronicle, last week. Shortly
after dinner, Kalloch walked into De
Young's office and found De. Young en-
gagged in talking with some gentlemen
on business matters. Kalloch drew a
pistol without, as far as can be learned,
speaking word and began firing at De
Young. The latter ran through a gate
of the counter inside, Kalloch firing at
him as he ran. On reaching the desk De
Young turned 10 face his opponent, with
pistol in hand, when Kalloch leaned
over the counter and fired again, striking
De Young in the mouth. Kalloch then
started for the door and De Young raised
his pistol as if to fire but apparently his
strength failed him for his pistol was
not discharged, and sinking backward.
he fell on the floor. One Of the imme-
diate causes of the tragedy, it is believed,
is therecent appearance of a pamphlet en-
titled "the only fullreport ofthe trial of L.
S. KallOch on a charge of adultry." This
pamphlet contained portrait of May
Kalloch and the woman with whom he
was said to be intimate, and pretended
to give full history of the affair; the
doings of The church, Kalloch's pulpit
experience, arrest, arraignement, trial and
result. 1t will be remembered that
Charles De Young shot she senior Kal-
| loCh during the last campaign, for re-
Elections cast upon the character Of his
mother by Kalloch in public speech.
San Francisco society is all torn up over
the affair.
