On January 17, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of South?
Dakota, 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 150 cases of water loganberries, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at Deadwood, S. D., alleging that the article had?
been shipped by Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Growers Canning Co., Puyallup,?
Wash., on or about October 22, 1920, and transported from the State of Wash??
ington into the State of South Dakota, and charging adulteration in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Famous?
Sumner Brand Water Loganberries * * * Grown and Packed By The?
Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Growers Ass'n. Canneries At Sumner And Puyallup,?
Washington."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On September 19, 1921, 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 be destroyed by the United States marshal.
