and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 15374.    I. S. No. 10846-t.     S. No. W-936.)
On September 16, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of Colo??
rado, 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 con??
demnation of 125 cases of frozen mixed eggs, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Denver, Colo., consigned by Swift & Co., Wichita, Kans.,.?
alleging that the article had been shipped from Wichita, Kans., July 9, 1921,?
and transported from the State of Kansas into the State of Colorado, and?
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article'?
was labeled in part: (Cans) "Sanitary Eggs. 30 Pounds Net Swift & Com??
pany, General Offices Chicago, U. S. A."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason'that it?
consisted wholly or in part of filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substances.
On December 22, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the-?
eourt that the product' be destroyed by the United States marshal. The marshal?
was further directed to sell the containers of the said product if he should?
find it to the advantage of the Government to do so.
