On July 23, 1926, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and
29662-27 2
condemnation of 76 cases of eggs, remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped by the First National 
Bank (Reynolds, N. Dak.), from Badger, Minn., July 16, 1926, and transported 
from the State of Minnesota into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration 
in violation of the food and drugs act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On August 2, 1926, Litman & Co., Chicago, Ill., having appeared as claimant 
for the property, and having filed bond in the sum of $1,000, to indemnify and 
guarantee payment by said claimant of all costs, judgment was entered, order- 
ing that the product be candled under the supervision of this department and 
that the adulterated portion be condemned and forfeited.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
