BoycOtt1ng a Postome.

ERIE, Pa, May Authorization was
filed in this city yesterday before the Un-
tied States Commissioner Frank Grant,
against John Cooper, of Rundells, Ford
county, for being the principal in the boy
cotting of -postofice. Deputy Mar
shall Ford brought the prisoner to Erie
last night. John Cooper was the post
master at Rundells for some time but the
Office was given to the present postmas-
ter Roberts, who also keeps store. The
change caused a bitter fight between the
friends Of each and a boycott was organ
lied. Cooper not only kept his own box
'es and other Office furniture in place, but
had 3 List of those who adhered to him
and made it a business daily to send his
son to the postofice to get the mail be-
longing to disgruntled parties, and then
he distributed it in his boxes as of yore.
While the fact Of boycotting may be con-
strued as an offense against the govern
ment, it is also an offense to run an insti-
tuition in the form of a p~ostofice without
being duly authorized.
