IX No. 0090.    I. S. No. 8893-p.    S. No. C-9JL6.)
On June 25, 1918, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 50 cases, each containing 48 cans of salmon, consigned on?
November 16, 1917, by F. C. Barnes Co., Seattle, Wash., remaining un??
sold in the original unbroken packages at Ironton, Ohio, alleging that the?
article had been shipped and transported from the State of Washington into?
the State of Kentucky and thence into the State of Ohio, and charging adultera??
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part,?
" Fancy Pink Alaska Salmon    +    "?Cable Brand."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On February 27, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
