On February 23,1938, the United States attorney for the District of Montana, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a 
libel praying seizure and condemnation of 80 cases of prunes at Missoula, Mont., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
June 18, 1937, from Portland, Oreg., by the Oregon Transfer Co., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a moldy, filthy, and decomposed or putrid vegetable substance.
On April 1, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
