Mob Took Grant Sanders From Officers and Then
 Changed Their Minds
THE ROPE AND TREE
Had Already Been Selected-Was Prisoner of Vital Archard, Who
 Was Killed By Mob.

Tha fact th'at CT ant Sanders, a negro, is valuable witness for the state is all that saved him from lynching yesterday morning, when he was returned to Farrell, Ark, by Constable A. F. McNeill, of Redfield, and Deputy JGonstable Grover lRe- more, of Farrell, from Dumas, De- sha county, where his arrest led di- rectly to the assassination of Con- stable Vital Archard, of Farrell, near the Desha county seat early Sunday morning by a mob of negroes, said to have been led by w. s. Rhea, a white man. Had not Rhea been talk en from an Iron Mountain train here, while being carried to Little Rock for safe keeping Monday he, too, would have been taken from the train when it passed through Farrell that after moon and lynched.
 Sanders had just been arrested on a murder charge when the mob of negroes shot Archard to death to pre- vent him from taking the negro away. Sanders escaped but was re- arrested with many other negroes and Rhea Monday. After the preliminary hearing before coroner four of the negroes were taken to Arkansas City, Rhea was brought here andyesterday
 
 through Pine Bluff with Sanders to return him to Farrell. The negro is under indictment there for the kill ing of 3 negro named Thomas two months ago.
 Believing that he was responsible for the popular Farrell officers death a mob of white men met the train and took Sanders from the officers, upon their arrival. They had the rope and had selected a tree upon which he should die. But after hear ing his story of the assassination of Archard, members of the mob held conference and decided that he was too valuable 6 man to kill. They made the officers promise them that Sanders would be taken to Arkansas City for safe keeping and upon this condition they spared his life. De- puties A. G. Harris and Remore pass ed through Pine Bluff again last night with Sanders, on their way to Arkansas City. The mob would not listen to the officers when they wanted to take the negro to the jail et Benton, which is the county seat of Saline county. They told the of- ficers that Rhea had friends at Ben ton and also Little Rock and they would not agree to his being taken to either place for safe keeping. "He must go back to Arkansas City or die," said the leader of the mob, and

He did not know, he said who had shot him, but several had fired at him and hea. him over the head after he had fallen in the road.
 Dr. E. W. West a negro bonds man, said to be law abiding and wealthy negro of Farrell, Ark, had a narrow escape from death at the hands of the mob. West was with Archard and his prisoner, Sand CTS, when the mob overlook them in the road. West was Sanders bondsman and had accompanied the officer 10 Dumas to get Sanders to return to Farrell, where he Was indicted on a murder charge. Sanders shot a f.e- gro at Farrell scme days, aso and the negro died there Thursday of last week.
