On November 21, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona,?
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court?
of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and condemnation?
of 13 boxes of salted sardines, at Douglas, Ariz., alleging that the article had?
been shipped by the San Xavier Fish Packing Co., from Monterey, Calif., on or?
about November 20, 1924, and transported from the State of California into?
the State of Arizona, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and?
drugs act. The article was labeled in part: "Dry Pressed Salted Sardines?
San Xavier Fish Packing Co., Monterey, Calif."

ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
