V. S. * * * v. 51 Cases and 295 Cases of Crazy Well Water and 
Natural Gibson Well Water. Default decrees of condemnation, 
forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 7702. I. S. vNos. 12022-m, 
12023-m, 12024-m, 12025-m, 12026-m.    S. No. C-563.)
On September 15, 1916, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the District Court of the United States for said district libels "praying the 
seizure and condemnation of 51 cases and 295 cases, each containing 12 bottles 
of Crazy well water, or Natural Gibson well water, as the case might be, 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at New Orleans, La., 
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about August 2, 1916, by the 
Crazy Well Water Co., Mineral Wells, Tex., and transported from the State 
of Texas into the State of Louisiana, and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
consisted in part of filthy, decomposed, and putrid matter.
On December 9, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
