On August 5, 1924, and January 15, 1925, respectively, the United States 
attorney for the Southern District of Georgia, acting upon reports by the 
Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for 
said district libels praying the seizure and condemnation of 85 cases and 50 
cans of salmon, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Macon, Ga., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by the F. C. Barnes Co., from Port- 
land, Oreg., on or about June 12, 1924, and transported from the State of 
Oregon into the State of Georgia, and charging adulteration in violation of 
the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in" part: " Superior Stock 
Brand Packed By Jeldness Bros. & Co. Astoria Ore., * * * Columbia 
River Royal Chinook Salmon."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
consisted in whole and in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.
On June 23, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
