tion.     (F. & D. No. 14599.    I. S. Nos. 10598-t, 10654-t.    S. No. W-902.)
On April 5, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 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 193 
cases of adulterated shrimp, remaining in the original unbroken packages at 
Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped by Ariss, Campbell & 
Gault, Seattle, Wash., August 2, 1919, and transported from the State of Wash- 
ington into the State of Oregon, and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, (can) " Red Ribbon 
Brand Shrimp   *    *    *   Contents four ounces."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason 
that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed animal 
substance.
On July 13,1921, a stipulation having been entered into between the consignee, 
the consignor, and the United States to the effect that the product might be 
destroyed, and the court having found that the product was adulterated as 
alleged in the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was-entered, and 
it was ordered by the court that the product be destroyed by the United States 
marshal.
