struction     (F. & D. No. 6761.    I. S. Nps. 17552-k, 17553-k.    g. No. W-58.)
On July 23, 1915, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
California, 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 2 half-barrels of desiccated eggs, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at San Francisco, Cal., alleging that the article?
had been shipped and transported from the State of Texas into the State of?
California, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted, in whole or in part, of a filthy, decomposed animal substance.
On August 10, 1915, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
