On August 26, 1916, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district libels for the seizure and condemnation of 
8 cases and 18 cases of shell eggs, consigned by Percy Crumbein and Martin 
Carnelsen, Alexander and Bazine, Kans., remaining unsold in the original un- 
broken packages at Colorado Springs, Colo., alleging that the article had been 
shipped on or about August 18, 1916, and transported from the State of Kansas 
into the State of Colorado, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
consisted in part of filthy, putrid, and decomposed matter.
On September 25, 1916, Ira J. Morse, Colorado Springs, Colo., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture 
were entered, and it was ordered by the court that the portion of the eggs found 
to be unfit for food be destroyed and the portion found to be fit for food be 
released to said claimant, upon the filing of a good and sufficient bond, in con- 
formity with section 10 of the act.
