2. “John H. Sanders was in the store of James Bodge, in Pawnee, on the evening of 7 Mar 1865, when two men entered it, ostensibly with the view of trading, but really with the view of robbery. Mr. Sanders passed out of the door, and as he did so, was shot by an accomplice of the robbers, stationed on the outside, to prevent his giving the alarm. He died before his friends could reach him. Two of the robbers, James P. Lemon and Barney B. Vanarsdale, were arrested, the former in Missouri and the latter in Iowa. They were tried, convicted on 25 Apr, and hung at Springfield, 20 Jul 1866. The other, Mr. [?] Ballard, was hung in Missouri by a mob, but confessed that he assisted in the murder of Mr. Sanders.” [139]
