: TEE TRAGEDY.
s FULL PARTICULARS OF TIE SHOOTING.
t SAN Francesca, April 2.-Just before
/ last evening Charles De Young entered Il
5 business Office of the Chronicle, on Il
ground floor, corner Of Kearney and Bus
, streets, and stood talking with some genu
7 men, leaning against the counter.
Directly the door opened and I. II. Ka11oc
entered, and, drawing a pistol without, :
far as can learned, speaking word, bega
, firing at De Young.
The latter ran through the gate Of th
counter to the desk inside, kalloch firing {
him as he ran.
On reaching the desk, DE Young turned
face his opponent, with pistol in his hant
y when Kalloch, leaning over the counter, fire
again, the ball striking De Young in th
| mouth.
Kalloch then started for the door. D
Young raised his pistol as if to fire, but ap
parently his strength failed him, for til
pistol was not discharged, and, sinking back
ward, he
FELL TO TIE FLOOR.
The bystanders ran to his assistance, bu
| the ball had evidently pierced the base of tn,
brain, and in few moments he expired.
AS kalloch ran out Of the door he wa:
seized By a citizen, and at the same moment
IN officer came up and took him into custody
and conducted him to the City Prison, whert
he was locked up.
The news OF the murder few through the
city like the wind. In few moments 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
doors Of the Office to keep out the inquisitive
crowd, and only few personal friends and
reporters were admitted,
In the rear office N. Il. De Young, brother
Of deceased, reclined on lounge, surround
ed by his friends, evidently overcome BY the
tragedy, but with dry eyes and calm, though
low voice. He was not present at the time
of the shooting, having left home after din
ner, few minutes later than Charles,
Deceased lay on his back on the floor, his
face and breast
DABBLED IN BLOOD,
his eyes closed, and his face bearing calm
expression, noticeable in the case Of those
dying from shot wounds.
Only one wound was found on his person,
although at least four shots were fired By
kalloch, two having pierced the glass door
and partition Of the office, and third 1odg-
ing IN the window casing. Young Kalloch
on being arrested was, as the arresting officer
remarked, the coolest man he ever saw.
He still carried the smoking pistol in his
hand, which he surrendered to the officer on
his way to the stahon-house. He observed
strict reticence, and on being shown to his
cell positively refused to have any inter-
course whatever with representatives Of the
press.
De Ioung's aged mother, between whom
and her son an unusually strong affection
existed, is prostrated by the shock Of her
sons murder.

agree with the account heretofore tele-
eraphed. Further Inquiry shows that young

10 be substantially correct 1t is evident that !
the deed was deliberate. Officer Noyes states
hat a few moments before De Young en-
tered the Office he saw Kalloch walk along !
kearney street and peer into the window Of |
he Chronicle counting-room. He was evi-
1ently on the watch, awaiting the arrival of
lis victim.
