Mr Tanner Came Back.

Wm. Tanner of Pleasant Grove, the party whose cattle selling operations has created such a big sensation this week, returned to Rensselaer Friday, on the 9:55 a. m. train in company with a Mr. Thayer. Mr.JjTanner stated that he has been in the vicinity of Jasper county ever since he sold the cattle, and had no intention of absconding. He came from Monticello today, and said that he was in Mt. Ayr, yesterday. He stated further that while the decline in cattle had probably broken him up, financially, that no one else w’ould lose anything by him. He stated still further, that he was forced to sell the cattle by the taking away from him of a large number bj a Rensselaer creditor, last week.
