cream at Omaha, Nebr., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce, on or about November 12 and 13, 1934, in various shipments 
by Hubert Vidrine, from Heber Springs, Ark.; J. L. Mason, from Gorby, Ark.; 
A. C. Fisher, from Edgemont, Ark.; and Benjamin Gigstand, from Lancaster,

admitted the material allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment was entered ordering that the product be destroyed.
