On July 12, 1918, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Kentucky, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 24 cases, each containing 48 cans of Fancy Pink Alaska?
Salmon, consigned on or about November 15, 1917, by F. C. Barnes Co., Port??
land, Ore., remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Pikeville,?
Ky., and transported from the State of Oregon into the State of Kentucky,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The?
article was labeled in part, " Fancy Pink Alaska Salmon  *   *  *  Cable Brand."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for'the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On May 26, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal, and that?
judgment be entered against the Kentucky Wholesale Co., Pikeville, Ky.,?
for the costs of the proceedings.
