Default    decree    of    condemnation,    forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(F. & D. No. 8476.    I. S. No. 16507-p.    S. No. W-194.)
On August 17, 1917, 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 a libel for the seizure and condemnation?
of 5 cases of shell eggs, consigned by Fliesbach & Sons, Scottsbluff, Nebr.,?
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Denver, Colo., alleging?
that the article had been shipped on or about July 20, 1917, and transported?
from the State of Nebraska into the State of Colorado, and charging adultera??
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in part of filthy, putrid, and decomposed matter.
On September 13, 1917, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the eggs should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
CARL VEOOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
