tion.     (-F. & D. No. 7186.    1. S.'Nos. 11538-1, 11540-1.    S. No. C-425.)
On January 21, 1916, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of Illinois, 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 13 cases, each containing 30 dozen, of shell eggs, remain??
ing unsold in the original unbroken packages at Chicago, 111., alleging that the?
article had been shipped on January 5, 1916, by Stolle, Dangel & Foss Co.,?
Reedsburg, Wis., and transported from the State of Wisconsin into the State?
of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that when?
it was so shipped as aforesaid it consisted in part of a decomposed animal?
substance, for the further reason that it consisted wholly of a decomposed?
animal substance, for the further reason that it consisted in part of a filthy?
animal substance, and for the further reason that it consisted wholly of a?
filthy animal substance.
On April 5, 1916, 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.
CARL VBOOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
