Sln IrAucIocus aIt1l @A--Juol UcIoIc
.irht O'Clock last evening Charles De-
Yeung entered the business ofiiee Of
the Csroaicls on the ground hoor, cor
mr. OF Kearney and Bush stre-ts, and
stood talking with some gentleman,
Ieaning against the counter. Directly
ths door opened and L. NJ Kalloch en-
tered and drawing his pistol, without,
as far As can be learned, speaking a
word, and began firing At De Young.
The latter ran through the gate Of the
counter TO his desk, Kalloch firing at
him as he ran On reaching the desk
DeYoung turned 10 face his opponent
with a pistol In his hand, when kalloch
leaning over the counter fired again. the
ball striking DeYoung In the mouth.
Kalloch then started for the door. when
DeYoung raised his pistol as II to fire,
but apparently his strength failed him.
for the pistol was not discharged and
sinking backward he fell 10 the fioor.
THE bystanders ran n his assistance,
but the ball bad evidently pierced the
base Of the brain. as In few moments
he expired.
As KaIIoch ran out OF the door he
was seized by q citizen and at the same
moment an officer came up and took
him into custody and conducted him to
the city prison. where he WAS locked
News Of the murder fisw through the
city like the wind. and In few min
utes the streets In the vicinity Of the
Chroni.le Office were crowded with peo-
PIE eager TO learn full particulars Of the
affair.
Policemen were at once stationed at
the doors OF the Office 10 keep out the
inqnisitive crowd and only n few per-
sonal friends and reporters were admit
ted 10 the Office.
NJ. II. DE Young, brother Of the de-
ceased, reclined ON a lounge surround
ed by friends. evidently overcome by
the tragedy but with dry eyes and a
calm voice. He wls not present ut the
time OF the Shooting, having left home
after dinner few minntes later than
Charles. The deceased lay on his back
on the floor, his face and breast dab
blei with blood eyes closed and face
bearing that calm expression noticeable
In cases OF those dying from pistol
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 the third lodged In
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 lie surrendered TO the officer. On
his way TO the station house, he observ-
ed strict reticence and ON being shown
TO his cell, positively refused to have
