Washington, March 1.-Postmaster
L. 5. Parnell of Junction, Union coun-
", Arkansas, has resigned his Office.

moved to Oklahoma, where he has a
brother. The latter recently resisted
requisition from the governor Of
Arkansas on a charge of embezzle-
ment alleged TO have been committed

hearing the governor of Oklahoma re-
fused to honor the requisition 1t was
alleged that it would be unsafe for

gin at EldOrado. Guy b. Tucker, then
city marshal, headed the faction in
opposition to the ParnelIs.
