On or about August 14, 1919, the United States attorney for the District?
of Colorado, 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 4 cases, each containing 30 dozen eggs, consigned by?
H. C. Marquancl, Wakeeney, Kans., remaining unsold in the original unbroken?
packages at Denver, Colo, alleging that the article had been shipped on or?
about August 7, 1919, and transported from the State of Kansas into the State?
of Colorado, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
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, to wit,?
decomposed and rotten eggs unfit -for food.
On November 4, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
