Schalier, May 1S.-Isaac Markley,
whose arrest on the charge of murder
Ing his wife. was announced in these
dispatches Saturday, was held to the
grand jury without bail and is now in
the county Jail at Sac City. His attorney
made hard fight to have his client re-
leased on bonds. but the evidence
was thought best to refuse Sail at the
present time.
Nothing that has happened in the vi
entity of Schal!er for many years has
so excited the community as the de-
velol ments in the Narkiey case. Pub
lie sympathy is very much divided. as
there appear TO have been eXtenuating
circumstances in MaIkley's favor. 1t is
known tina. Mrs. Ma:k!ey was a very
quarrelsome and disa2reeable woman
land made things unpleasant at home by
her constant quarreling and bickerlae.
She was strong woman physically and
could hold her own II. physical con-
test with the old man. II is said Mark
ley has practically admitted he shot his
wife during quarrel, but will claim
he did it in seif-defense. At the pre-
ljminary hearing Saturday niece of
Markley's stated that the old man had
told her after the alleged crime had
been committed that he had done some
thing he did not like or his wife would
have used the gun on him. Sefishness
and greed seem to have been at the bot
tom of all the family's troubles. Even
Eow the three sons of the old man are
more concerned about the expense of
trial than their fathers safety and one
of them urged his parent at the prelim-
mary trial to plead guilty in order to
save costs. He admitted that they
might put his father to death, but said
it would probably be done by electricity
and be practically painless.
Markley is about 60 years old and has
always been q hard working, indus tri-
Gus man. He was, however. very penu-
rious and thought more of Il few dol
lars than life itself. His estate is proba-
bly, worth $4,000 and the family had a
nice home, well furnished and every
thing calculated to make life worth iiv-
ing. but peace and happiness We're |

1t is said that Mrs. Markley was pre-

quarrel which followed Markley fired

Clear Lake.
Water in the lake is constantly rising
and lacks only few inches of over
flowing at the outlet. Considerable fear
had been expressed that the dam at the
old outlet would break away and let
the water out, but yesterday the mayor
had the street commissioner begin the
work of hauling stone, dirt, ETC., to
strengthen the dam and to build 1t
higher. 1t is possible that the lake may
yet become as high as it was twenty
years ago.

That target for adverse criti- cism, the army department, has done one thing, at least, that will call down on it's head praise instead of blame. It's recent order compelling those members of the Army organization who married Filipino women while in the Philippines to recognize them as their legal wives under pain of forfeiting their comlnis- sions will commend itself to those who have at heart the moral welfare of the nation.
