the District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the
seizure and condemnation of 243 cases of canned salmon, remaining in the 
original unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the Hidden Inlet Canning Co., from Hood Bay, Alaska, Sep- 
tember 19, 1923, and transported from the Territory of Alaska into the State 
of Washington, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Celebration Brand * * * 
Cohoe Salmon Packed By Hidden Inlet Canning Co."

consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance.

ant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it 
was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant 
upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond 
in the sum of $1,215, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in 
part that the good portion be separated from the bad portion, under the super- 
vision of this department, the good portion released and the bad portion
