FAIR.
SAN Francisco, April 24-Just before 2
O'Clock last evening Charles De Young EN-
tered the business office OF the Chronicle on
the ground floor. corner Of Kearney and
Bush streets, and stood talking with some
gentlemen. leaning against the counter.
Directly the door opened, |. NJ. Kallocb,
son OF Mayor Kalloch, entered, and
drawing pistol without, as far as can be
learned. speaking a word, began firing
at De Young. The latter ran through the
gate Of the counter to the desk inside, Kali
loch firing at him as he ran. On reaching
the desk De Young turned face 10 face with
his assaiIant, with pistol in bis hand,
when Kallocb, leaning over the counter,
fred again, the ball striking De Young in
the mouth. Kalloch then started for the
door. De Young raised bis pistol as IL
to fire. but strength failed him, for the
pistol was not discharged. and sinking
backwards he fell on the floor. The by
ISLANDERS ran to his assistance, but the ball
had evidently pierced the base OF the brain,
and in few moments he expired. As Kali
loeb ran out Of the door be was seized by a
citizen, and at the same moment an Ofticer
came up aud took him in charge and con.
Quoted him to the city prison, where he was
locked up.
The news OF the murder few through
the city like The wind, and in few mo-
mens the street in the vicinity OF the
| Chronicle office was crowded with people
eager to learn the particulars OF the affair
| Policemen were at once stationed at the
door OF the office, and only few personal
! friends and reporters were admitted. In
the rear office, N. II. DE Young, brother OF
the deceased, reclned on lounge, sur
rounded by friends, evidently overcome by
the tragedy, but with dry eyes and calm
voice. He was not present at the time OF
the shooting, having left home after dinner
few minutes later than Charles.
The deceased lay on bis back on the floor,
his face and breast dabbled IN blood, eyes
closed, and face bearing a calm expression,
as is noticeable in the case OF those dying
from shot-wOunds. Only one wound was
found on bis person, although at least four
shots were fred by Kaloch, two having
pierced the glass door and partition OF the
office, and the third lodging in the window

his cell positively refused to have any inter-
course whatever with representatives OF the
press. In the absence OF any explanation

generally understood TO be attributable 10
pamphlet which has recently been circulated
about the city attacking Mayor kaloch,
the father OF the young slayer. During
his recent visit East it is believed The de-
ceased devoted a great deal OF attention to
gathering up matters regarding the past lie
OF Mayor KaIoch, for the presumed pur-
pose OF either using 1t at the expected trial
OF the deceased on the charge OF shooting
KslOch last August, or making it subserve
n journalistic purpose. The pamphlet
above referred to was a document OF some
sixty pages, and recounted the details OF
KaIioch's scandal in Boston and other mat
ter OF scandalous nature. The pamphlet
was anonymous. but young Kaloch evil
IDENTITY considered that the deceased was re-
sponsible for its publication, and acted ac-
cordingly.
This tragedy is the ouigrowlh OF the
shooting OF Kallocb, the present mayor, by
Charles De Young, which occurred on The
o3d of August last. The circumstances
that led TO that affair were as follows: I" AZ

MAYOR, Charles De Young, in speech at

withdrawal from the contest. Subsequently
he notified Kalloch that unless he with

Chronicle contained similar and more elab-
crate articles, and dragged in Kall0ch's

moralities on his part. KaIloch had adver-
tised a mass-meetiug at the Metropolitan
Temple last night. at which it was given

published some five years ago by IL.
i. Napbtaly, in paper called the Sun.
This article was an attack upon the per-
sonal and family record OF De Young OF a
most pronounced character, and led to an
attempt on their part to kill Naphtaly,
which failed. De Young sent Kalloch
word that il be read that article he would
shoot him on the spot. The article was
read, the most offensive portion assaillng
the character OF De Young's father. The
love OF De Young for his mother. who i
seventy years old, had been evidenced IN
the care he had taken that none OF
the SANDERS upon the memory OF
her long-dead husband should come
