? wx?   v.
On February 5, 1924, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Michigan, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 822 cans of frozen eggs, remaining in the original un- 
broken packages at Detroit, Mich., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the H. J. Keith Co., from Duluth, Minn., November 6, 1923, and transported 
from the State of Minnesota into the State of Michigan, and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the food and drugs act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel, in that it consisted in 
whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On March 13, 1924, the American Butter & Cheese Co., incorporated under 
the laws of Michigan, having appeared as claimant for the property, an order 
of the court was entered, providing that the product might be released to the 
said claimant upon the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, conditioned 
in part that the bad portion not be disposed of contrary to law.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
