District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure?
and condemnation of 200 cases of salmon, remaining in the original unbroken?
packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped by the?
Marathon Fishing & Packing Co., from Cape Fanshaw, Alaska, arriving at?
Seattle, Wash., November 10, 1922, and transported from the Territory of Alaska?
into the State of Washington, and charging adulteration in violation of the?
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Loyal Brand?

of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product be delivered to the State Fisheries Department to be used as?
