9991.   I. S. No. 15570-r.   S. No. E-1284.)
On April 2, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, acting 
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Supreme Court of said 
District, holding a District Court, a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 26 
10-gallon kegs of Cacapon Water at Washington, D. C, alleging that the article had 
been shipped on March 17, 1919, by the Capon Springs Co., Capon Springs, W. Va.J 
and transported from the State of West Virginia into the District of Columbia, and 
charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as 
amended.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it consisted 
in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal and vegetable substance.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that it was food in package 
form, and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on 
the outside of the package in terms of weight, measure, or numerical count.
On May 20, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con- 
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product 
should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
