decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. No.
26727.    I. S. No. 35683.    S. No. 4879.)
Samples of tullibees from the shipment herein described having been found to 
be infested with worms, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter to 
the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
On June 30, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the District Court of 
the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 30 boxes of tullibees at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article 
had been shipped by the Warroad Fish Co., from Warroad, Minn., on or about 
June 23, 1931, and had been 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 and decomposed animal substance, and for the 
further reason that it consisted of a portion of an animal unfit for food.
On July 3, 1931, claimant having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
ABTHUB, M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
