The Killing of Joseph Daniels Now
Being Heard at Helena.
HE INSULTED THE GIRLS
Witnesses Tell How He Was Elected and
Went Aaway and Came Back with
Shotgun.

HELENA, Jan. 2s.-Frank Belunak has
been on trial before Judge DuBose for
the past few days for the murder of
Joe Daniels at Unionville. Although
Belunak has the reputation of being a
brutal fellow when in liquor, still he
mas the appearance Of being man of
some intelligence when sober.
Angus B. Hackshaw testified that he
was one of the party who attended the
dance at Daniels house on the night of
the shooting. Shortly after O'Clock
Belunak came in and was given some
refreshments that the others were hav-
ing at the time. While eating ne be-
gan making some remarks which were
regarded as out of place among the
ladies. Robert McDaniels began reas-
oning with Belunak, telling him that
such talk might be very well where he
came from, but that American girls
were not used to that kind of talk.
After the two men had been talking
some time, Belunak called McDaniels
liar and struck at him. McDauiels
struck Belunak, knocking him down.
Belunak got up bleeding and left the
house. About o'clock the witness and
Frank Metcalt started out of the door
leading from the rooms where the dane
ing was going on, to the porch There
was flash and areport. Several shots
struck the witness in the neck and hit
Metcalf in the face, making a had
wound. The witness caught sight of a
man standing about 10 feet from the
door, and, jumping from the porch, so
as to get out of the light from the open
door, he got behind tree. Shortly
after this he saw the man coming from
the direction of Daniels house, appa-
rently reloading the gun he was carry
ing. Soon after getting to the middle
of the road, the man either knelt or
stopped down, and taking deliberate
aim, fired in the direction of the house.
There was pistol shot in reply and
then the man fired again twice. There
were some more shots from the pistol /
and when the firing ceased man, who
the witness recognized as Belunak,
passed within Is feet of him going down !
the road carrying a gun. The witness
then started for the house and met
Daniels going in too. When they got
inside he saw that Daniels was wounded
in the arm and abdomen.
Cross-examination brought out the
fact that Daniels remarked that Frank
had shot him."
Robert McDaniels testified to the diff |
fculty between himself and Belunak,
practically as it was given by Hack
shaw. He did not hear Daniels give
the name of the man who shot him.
Patrick Duffy testified to going out
soon after Belunak had been knocked |
down. He found Belunak on the porch |
with shotgun.
William Metcalf testified to going out
with Hackshaw to see who was at the |
door. AS he stepped to the porch, Bel
unak, few feet away fired, wounding

A FAIR CHANCE.

The Hawsiians are constantly
getting away with the idea that
the Board of Education prefers
to appoint foreigners as teachers
instead of Hawaiians- While
the appearance of the present
teachers may give some color to
this idea We can state that the
Board wherever il can find suit
able material among Hawaiians
will give the preference to them.
Bot the HHvaiians must help the
Board In its efforts to replace
foreigners with the children Of
the soil. No Board can employ
IN incompetent Hawaiian in the
place OF more competent for
rigner. Aud a great number of
HswsIinn spirants to Offices as
teachers are weighed and found
wanting.
The normal class now to be
started at the kamehsmeha
schools will give the Hawaiians
the chance which they need.
The class will be conducted on
the most liberal terms and it is
safe to say that every Hawaiian
gradu- ting from it and recon-
mended by the schools to s
leadership will be appointed at
once. The educational depart
ment of this country is certainly
anxious to help Hawaiian and if
The Hawaiians through careful
study and tireless energy will
put his shoulder to the wheel
ufficial patronage will not be
lacking. We sincerely hope that
such Hawaiians who can qualify
md who desire to become teach
ers will apply for admittance to
the normal class at the Kameha-
meha schools. The class will be
limited in number but no restric
tons have been made in regard
to eventual pupils as to the
schools from which they have
graduated. Hawaiians from the
Kamehamehs school, st. Louis
College, Iolani College or the
government schools are equally
welcome If Hawaiians allow
this chance to go by they deserve
no sympathy in their complaint
over the alleged preference of
haoles by the Board of Educa-
ton.

The Emperor Of Japan.

AAS ELL CiOk Va 6tSA.
The Emperor and Empress of
Japan are fond of horseback
riding and other outdoor e1er-
cises. Their Imperial Maiesties
are often seen cantering together
along the generously shaded
bride paths of Uyeno Park. one
of the largest and most beautiful
pleasure grounds of the world.
Emulating Peter the Great,
with perhaps 4 memory of Haroun
Alraschid, the Emperor some
times goes out alone and unob-
served and mixes quietly With
his subjects. He occasionally
stands in large crowds in the
principal streets ofTokio, listen
ing to the conversation of the
lowest classes with evident in
terest. Thus he keeps constantly
in touch with his people.
Think of it
twenty-five years ago no one
would have dreamed that the
Heavenly King. as the Mikado is
called, conld walk the streets
unobserved by his subjects, says
the New York Morning Journal.
Indeed, at that time it was i'm
possible to see his Imperial Ma
jesty In the street at all. and it
was against the law of the land
for any one. save the very highest
officials, to look at him at any
time.
Emperor Mutsuhito is the one
hundred and twenty-frst of his
line. He is forty-two years old,
and one Of the most learned men
of the world. If his Royal High
ness Albert Edward, Prince of
Wales, is the first gentleman of
Europe, his Imperial Majesty
Mutsuhito is certainly the first
gentleman of Asia.
Mutsuhito is very much larger
than the average of his subjects.
He is tall and well-proportioned,
and when he appears in the hand
some uniform of the Commander
in Chief of the Japanese army lie
is quite as imposing as any
monarch of Europe. His com
plexion is very light for a Japa-
nese. Though his eyes are rather
small, they are of a brilliant
ark-brown. and seem full of
quiet force. He has u broad,
high forehead. and his hair is
Jet black and very thick like most |
of the men of his race.
His eye brows are well arched, |
which is an important feature OF |
manly beauty. according to the
Japanese conception, while his
nose is straight and strong. He |
wears large mustache and an
imperial of dark brown, which |
are turning gray. In word. he
Is a man of strinkingly pleasing |
The Emperor, though |
strictly just and stickler for
private as well as public morali- |
ty. is extremely kind hearted. |
His acumen is astonishing, and
he is the wisest and sonndest
Judge in whatever he undertakes.
He is .allowed 50 900 600 year
by the Parliament for the expen-
ses of his household. but as he is
q good business man be has in
