On October 23, 1928, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
D strict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 1 barrel of frozen geese at Chicago, Ill., alleging that 
the article had been shipped by A. N. Leiberg, from Ellendale, Minn., December 
26, 1927, and transported from the State of Minnesota into, the State of Illinois, 
and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On March 13, 1929, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
