14267. Adulteration and misbranding of butter. IT. S. v. 150 Pounds, et 
al., of Butter. Default decrees of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction. (F. & D. Nos. 20749, 20750, 20751, 20752. I. S. Nos. 3142-x, 
3143-x, 3144-x, 3145-x.    S. No. C-4905.)
On December 9, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Minne- 
sota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district libels praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 255 pounds of butter, remaining in the original unbroken pack- 
ages at Duluth, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped by the H. & F. 
Creamery Co., from Superior, Wis., in part November 28, 1925, and in part 
December 1, 1925, 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. The article was labeled in part: " Clear Lake Brand 
Creamery Butter   *    *    *    H. & F. Creamery Co. One Pound Net Superior,
Wis."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that a 
substance deficient in butterfat had been mixed and packed therewith so as 
to reduce or lower or injuriously affect its quality or strength and had been 
substituted wholly or in part for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was offered tor 
sale under the distinctive name of another article.

On May 11, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
