Rather Uni0ue,

KANSAS CITY, Oct 10 "A novel fea-
ture has appeared III the Higginsville
postmaster case and was argued in the
United States court to-day. The grand
jury yesterday returned an enrichment
against Edward Ciaypool for obstruct-
ing the mails. The facts as heretofore
published are that at HigginsVille, Mis-
souri,, last August, quarrel arose be-
tween CiaypO0l and John w. Erdlcy,
the postmaster there. Claypool, it is
charged, on the 2Sih of August entered
the postoffice just as pouch of mail
was received and assaulted the postmas-
ter, and during the melee, which lasted
some time. the mail could not be dis
tributed. Immediately upon the return
ing OF the indictment the defence filed a
demurrer, maintaining that the mails
could not be obstructed except when in
motion on railway train, wagon or
stage. The prosecution argued that
mails are in transit until delivered to
the person addressed, aud that case in
point comes within the meaning of the
statute. The ruling of tine court is
awaited with interest. as this point has
never yet been passed upon.
