Farmer Of Iowa, in Jail at

Death Of the Woman, With Whom
He Quarreled, Was First As
cribed to Suicide.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Schaller Iowa, May 18.-The arrest Of
Isaac Markley for the alleged murder Of
his wife, who was reported to have COM
mitted suicide last Wednesday, caused a
great sensation here, and the develop
ments over Sunday have increased the
belief in Markley's guilt. He was taken
to Sac City late Saturday night and
placed in jail, having been held to the
grand jury without bail.
Markley is about 60 years old and has
been hard working man and known to
be very penurious. Altho he was rated
as worth about $4,000 and had everything
to make home happy, SO far as furnish
ings and equipment were concerned, FAM
lily discord has existed for twenty years
and he had frequent and violent quarrels
with his wife. A few months ago he
decided the home farm to his wife, hop
ing thereby to pacify her and make things
a little more pleasant.
AS soon as she had gained possession
Of the farm, however, Mrs. 5Marlzley be-
gan to make threats Of suing for a di-
vorce The morning that the shooting
occurred Mrs. Markley was preparing to
leave and it is supposed that in the quar-
rel that followed Marley killed her. Sell
fshness and greed seem to have been at
the bottom of the tragedy.
It is said Markley has practically ad-
nitted to his sons that he did the shoot

WISCONSIN
FIGHT TO CONTINUE.
West Superior Will Not Submit to
the Minnesota System Of Grain
Inspection.
Elevators May Be Closed and Grain
Shipments Stopped for Time
at Least.
Special to The Journal.

d + 5 r
West Superior, Wis, May 1s.-There Is
every probability that the fight Of Superior
grain men to GUST the Minnesota system
of grain inspection will be continued.
Now that all hope of help from the Wis
consin legislature has gone the talk Is to
the effect that the law Of 1895 should be
enforced by the board of trade and the
elevator and grain men forced to operate
here under the Wisconsin law or not at all.
The concensus among the Superior
business and board Of trade men is that
there should be continuation of the
fight, but the matter Is left in the hands
of the grain men with the assurance that
the business men will lend all necessary
support to the movement to drive out the
Minnesota officials. The matter is in the
hands Of a committee of ten business and
grain men, representatives of the Com
mercial club, the board Of trade and the
Mercantile association.
Prevailing opinions are to the effect that
the plan to issue the ultimatum to the
grain men and elevator interests will re-
suit in the closing of the Superior eleya-
tors and the shutting off of shipping of
grain from Superior for a time at least.
These opinions come from the fact that
the elevator interests have announced it
as their intention to fight the movement
to establish the Wisconsin inspection of
any kind.
Under the old law the elevator COM
panies refusing to operate under it will
be unable to issue warehouse receipts
and cannot get grain Inspected into or out
OF their houses, Grain shipped from out
these houses down the lakes would have
no standing with wheat dealers In the
east. The elevator men would be prac-
tically compelled to close their houses as
public houses and would have the priv
llege OF using them only for the purposes
OF storing grain. The houses with 20, OO0,-
900 bushels capacity storage and many
times that of shipping each year would be
closed The opinion prevails that when
the elevator interests see that Superior is
going ahead with the fight and stands
for the closing of the houses, there will
not be much Of a fight.
One Of the first moves would be ia
drive the Minnesota officials out OF
Superior. It is said that District Attor-
ney Crownhart has announced that he
| will do his duty in the prosecution of these
officials altho he has been on the other
side Of the fight.
