forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. Nos. 15364, 15365. I. S. Nos.?
3512-t,  3513-t.     S.  Nos.  C-3203,  C-3204.)
On September 9, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of Minne??
sota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district libels for the seizure and?
condemnation of 217 kegs of salt herring, remaining in the original unbroken?
packages at Duluth, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped in part?
by Jones Bros., Cornucopia, Wis., August 24, 1921, and in part by I. R. Chape,?
Fort Wing, Wis., August 23, 1921, and transported from the State of Wisconsin?
into the State of Minnesota, and charging adulteration and misbranding in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it?
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was [food] in pack??
age form, and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously?
marked on the outside of the package.
On September 13, 1921, it having appeared that the product was in such a?
decomposed condition that it was a menace to public health, on motion of the?
United States attorney, it was ordered by the court that the product be de??
stroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
