WHAT Is GOING ON IN THE WORLD.
TELEGRAMs from San Francisco re-
garding the killing of Charles DeYoung, of
the Chronicle, by /. M. Kalloch, a son of
Mavor I. s. Kalloch, which occurred on the
23d, say the affair caused the most
intense excitement, greater even
than was produced by the
shooting of the elder Kalloch by
De Young few months ago. The immedi-
ate cause Of the tragedy was the circulation
broadcast throughout the city, it is believed
by the agency Of De Young, of the reprint
OF pamphlet entitled The only full re-
port of the trial of /. s. Kalloch on the
charge of adultery, !" originally printed in Bos-
ton from the stenographer's notes of the trial.
The shooting took place in the counting
room Of the Chronicle office. Kalloch fired
five shots at De Young, only one Of which,
the fourth, took effect. De Young did not
succeed in getting out his pistol until just as
the fatal shot was fired. The ball entered
his, mouth and penetrated his brain,
causing death almost immediately.
Young Kalloch is said to have been drinking
hard for some days previous to the shooting,
and freely expressed his design Of killing
De Young at the first favorable opportunity.
The murderer was arrested and lodged in
Jail.
