Uhe LORD Tor the rest. Judge MoK instry's
courtroom was in the City Hall, and
De Young's office was on Clay street,
near sacramento. The Judge walked
down Clay to Montgomery, and right at
the latter corner he met De Young. The
men saw each other simultaneously. and
without a word both drew their weapons
lie Young fired first, his bullet missing
it's mark, but chipping off splinter from
telegraph pole. The Judge took deliber-
ate aim, and everybody thought the edi-
tor was gone "Injun,'' but the Judges
pistol snapped De Young fired again,
but again missed, the bullet finding it's
way into window of the old Blue Wing
saloon. The Judge tried it once more.
This time his bullet took piece out of
De Young's hat At the next attempt
the Judges pistol again snapped, and
he then threw it away and went for his
antagonist with the ferocity Of tiger.
Before De Young could fire again the
Judge was upon him. Being a heavy
man he crushed the editor to the earth,
and would have beaten him to jelly had
the crowd not now closed in and pulled
him off. The two men were separated
with difficulty and hustled away in
different directions by friends. They
never fought again. The Judge never
again referred to the matter, and for
many years after De Young never men
TONED McKinstry's name in his paper.
So the bloodless fight had a salutary
effect after all.
THE EDITORS SECOND CLOSE
GALL.
Not long after that De Young had
sven narrower escape He began the
same kind of crusade against Judge
Delos Lake, San Francisco judge, who
stood as high as McKinstry. The Judge
did not wait for any preliminaries, but
meeting De Young on the street one day,
grabbed him by the throat with one
hand, while with the other he whipped
out big revolver. Lake was powerful
man, twice the size Of De Young, and
he crushed the latter to the earth with
ease. A moments struggle, and both
men were in the gutter, Lake on top. By
this time great crowd had gathered, but
Judge Lake fourished his pistol, and
told everybody to stand back. Then, with
one knee on De Young's breast, and the
other holding down the latter's pistol arm,
he deliberately cooked his revolver and
pressed it against De Yonng's temple
The crowd shouted, 'sMurderI' and
made a rush for Lake, but he pulled the
trigger. Had the cartridge exploded, De
Young's career would have ended then
and there, but before Lake could pull
again the crowd was upon him, and he
was speedily disarmed. and the men sepa-
rated
sCharles De Young had very many
other street fights" continued the gen.
tleman, 'sbut none that were serions, un-
til the one in which he met his death, a.
the hands Of young Kalloch. That, hov
ever, was not exactly a fight, but cod
blooded murder. Kalioch walked int
his office and shot De Young down with
out moments parley."
"What were the particulars of that?
was asked.
ooh. that was the elimination of a long
standing feud between De Young and
young Kalloch's father, Rev. Isaac S.
Kalloch. About 1875 there came from
Kansas preacher of politics and religion
and with something of shady reputa-
ton. He was man of extraordinary elo-
quence, dealer in pulpit sensationalism,
and in less than two years he had gath
cred great congregation, built a
tabernacle, and, set out to
reform things generally. He joined the
Kearney movement, and made sand-iot
speeches as hot as Kearney's, though ten
times more eloquent.
'sFrom the start De Young fought.him.
He showered every abuse upon him; sent
to Kansas, hunted up his record, his
troubles with women and everything in
his career that might reflect upon him.
All this he related in his newspaper.
Kalloch retaliated in kind. From the
balcony of his tabernacle he would enter
tain 5, 900 people with his opinion of the
De Youngs, and for once Charles De
Young found that he had met his match.
And what made him angrier was that
Kallo CHI had all the sympathy and all the
applause.
THE MERRY PISTOL AGAIN.
One Saturday night, after an unusually
atrocious attack in the Chronicle, Kalloch
had an audience Of nearly 10000 people,
who crowded and jammed and strained
their ea~s to hear the preachers reply.
II was then that he entered into the his
tory of the De Young family, assailing
his mother and sisters in atrooious terms
Ths thousands who heard him knew
there would be bloodshed next day.
"Just after the close of services in the
tabernacle next morning Sunday, and
while Kalloch was yet in his study,
coupe with closed curtains drove up to
the side entrance and boy alighted, and
went to tell the preacher that "a lady was
down stairs in carriage who would like
to speak to Mr.. Kalloch just moment.
Kalloch went down, and as he approached
the carriage door the curtain was sudden
