dered sold. Unfit portion ordered destroyed. (F. & D. No. 8477.?
I. S. No. 16508-p.    S. No. W-195.)
On August 18, 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, each containing 30 dozen of shell eggs, consigned by Hageman?
Bros., Woodruff, Kans., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about?
August 7, 1917, 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 libel for the reason that it?
consisted 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 good portion of the eggs should be sold at public auction and?
that the unfit portion should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
