struction.    (F. & D. Nos. 20390, 20391.    I. S. No. 2003-x.    S   No. C-4815.)
; On August 31, and September 24, 1925, respectively, the United States attorney
| for the Western District of Kentucky, acting upon a report by the Secretary of
I Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district
{ libels praying seizure and condemnation of 411 cases of canned salmon, remain-
i ing unsold in the original packages, in part at Elizabethtown, Ky., and in part
% at Hodgenville, Ky., consigned by the C. F. Buelow Co., Seattle, Wash., from 
New Orleans, La., March 14, 1925, alleging that the article had been shipped in
\ interstate commerce from New Orleans, La., into the State of Kentucky, and
| charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.    The article was
i labeled in part: " Peteo Brand Select Pink Salmon    *    *    *    Distributed by
| C. M. Pettibone Co., Seattle."
| It was alleged in the libels that the article was adulterated, in that it con-
l sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
| On November 10, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg-
p ments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the
I court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
