Fl Dorado, Ark, March 25. The celebrated Parnell case has come to a peculiar close. Compromise has been entered into on the part of the state and the Parnell defendants, in which it is agreed to dismiss, with the uu- derstanding that Dan, Jim and Matt Parnell leave the state with their families by May 26, next
 It was first announced that they were to be banished to Mexico, or, m other words, Mexico was the place agreed upon where the Parnell bro thers were to make their future home before May 26, but this statement is denied by the very best authority The agreement is that they are to leave the state. The rest of the world is open to them.
 The agreement was signed by the prosecuting attorney and the attor- neys for the defense, and is to go into immediate effect, the condition being that unless the three brothers quit Arkansas soil before May 26 the cases will be continued against them. If either of them should return to the state to resume his residence here then the case will be revived against him. Should they engage in any diff iiculty with either Guy B. Tucker, Dr. R. A. Hilton or T. F. Newton the case would be revived against the party causing the trouble.
