THE PROCTOR MURDER.

Two of the Atchison County Farmers
NeighbOrs Arrested.
ATcHIsoN, Kan, June 10 -Edward Siler
and James Wiley have been arrested for
the murder of w. w. Proctor on his farm
in the northwest part of this county a
short time ago Siler was Proctor's
nearest neighbor. their farms joining.
The neightors assert that Sler and Proc
tor were not on friendly terms, and that
they had frequent wrangles over a line
of fence and over Proctor's cattle tres
passing on Siler's lands. These quarrels
coupled with conflicting stories and
damaging statements made by Wiley,
Siler's hired man, recently. while on q
visit to Missouri, together with certain
other facts in possession Of the county at.
torney-were deemed of sufficient weight
to justify the arrest of Siler and
Wiley. The theory Of the MUIR
der now is that several weeks
ago Proctor and Sler engaged in a
quarrel. Both men being quick tempered,
they came to blows, and in the alter cation
Proctor was shot. His body was carried
to his house, and lis throat cut to create
the impression that he had committed
suicide. Sier, who is well.to-do. came TO
Atchison from Platte County, No., about
eight years ago. He has always borne a
good reputation. Wiley has also hereto
fore borne a good name. although but lit
tie is known of his anteceden.s.
