On June 4, 1915, the United States attorney for the Western District of?
Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 48,000 pounds of oats, remaining unsold and unloaded from?
the car at St. Paul, Va., alleging that the product had been shipped by Callahan?
& Sons, Inc., Louisville, Ky., on May 27, 1915, and transported from the State?
of Kentucky into the State of Virginia, and charging adulteration and mis??
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated and misbranded?
[in] that it purported to be 48,000 pounds of oats and [was] in sacks of ap??
proximately 160 pounds each, labeled " Dixie White Oats Special," and billed?
as sacked oats, and that said adulteration [and misbranding] of said article was?
that it contained 12.5 per cent barley and was heavily bleached.
On June 29, 1915, the said Callahan & Sons, claimant, having filed its?
claim and the cause having been submitted to the court by agreement of.?
counsel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was?
ordered by the court that the product should be delivered to said claimant upon?
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bond in the sum?
of $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
