On May 20, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
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 100 cases of evaporated milk, consigned on or about April 28, 1919, remain- 
ing unsold in the original unbroken packages at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by Frank P. Wood Co., New York, N. Y., and trans- 
ported from the State of New York into the State of Maryland, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.. The article was labeled 
in part, " Elk-Horn Brand Unsweetened Evaporated Milk Elkhorn Valley Con- 
densing Co. Distributor Omaha, Neb., Papillion, Neb., Perry, la."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On June 25, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that 
the prpduct be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
