THE REMAINS TAKEN HOME.


When the Coroner's wagon bearing De
Young turned from Kearney into Market
street the crowd made a rush that had
the appearance of being directed at the
wagon. Tt might have been merely the

ing it as an attempt at violence, used
their clubs freely, beating back the crowd,
and inficting severe punishment on some
of the most forward. Aside from this
incident, there has been no sign of vic.
lence and no reason for the services of
the police, except in keeping back the
press. Large throngs still linger around
the Chronicle Office and at the main and
branch Offices of the Gale and at the
Morgue, quietly discussing the affair and
waiting with usual morbid interest to
hear any further particulars obtainable.
Charles De Young was formerly o
Cincinnatian. He removed from there
Just before the war and settled in San
Francisco, where he became compos-
itor. De Young continued type setter
until 1869, when he began publishing a
little paper called the Dramatic Chronicle,
which was used as programme in the
various theaters of the city. It vas sue
cessful, and be soon turned it into reg
ular morning paper, associating with him
in its publication his brother, n. H. Do
Young. The paper was personal and
violent in tone, and quickly attracted at
tention. De Young himself was bitterly
assailed, and from one end of the year to
the other, was in hot water that was in.
cessantly changing and growing warmer.
The paper prospered, and in its peculiar
way acquired great deal of influence.
People who attacked De Young found
him an unrelenting and an unforgiving
foe, and it used to be not an uncommon
question of the day, "Well, has any Que
shot De Young to.day?" But he never
was shot; he was fearless and was known
to be always armed, and his character in
that way was pretty generally known.
He shot at an.reporter of the Chronicle
one night in front of the postofice, the
provocation having been almost precisely
similar to that which appears to have
prompted the shooting of Kalloch. The
reporter, whose name was Benjamin F.
Napthaly, had started an obscure sheet,
in which he DETAINED and abused De
Young's family, and De Young took the
earliest opportunity to revenge himself.
Both were bad shots, and no injury re.
suited to either. Subsequently, Judge
Delos Lake, whom De Young had at
tackled most unsparingly for improper
conduct on the bench, shot at him on
California street, near the corner Of
Montgomery, but missed him, and De
Young, in turn, shot at the Judge and
missed, too. He has had numerous
escapes of the kind; indeed, if report
speaks truly, he has not always escaped
entirely, but he has always shown little
or no hesitation in taking publicly the
consequences of anything that appeared
in the Chronicle. The De Young family
consisted of three brothers-Charles,
Gustavus and Michael-their mother and
Louisiana, and Mrs. De Young is now
in her eightieth year. She has always
enjoyed the reputation of being most
estimable and worthy woman, and her
children, particularly Charles De Young,
were noted for their devotion to her.
