This action involved a shipment of canned salmon identified by various codes.

On November 12, 1932, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Kentucky, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying 
seizure and condemnation of 550 cases of canned salmon, remaining in the 
original packages at Owensboro, Ky., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about October 19, 1932, by C. F. Buelow Co., from 
Seattle, Wash., to Owensboro, Ky., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Spot Lite Pink Salmon 
*   *   *   C. F. Buelow Company, Incorporated, Seattle."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On January 31, 1533, the Koll Grocery Co., Owensboro, Ky., having appeared 
as claimant for the property ana having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment or condemnation was entered and it was ordered oy the court that 
certain codes that were not in violation of the law be separated and released, 
and that the remainder be released under bond in the sum of $2,000, conditioned 
that they should not be sold or disposed of contrary to the provisions of the 
Federal Food and Drugs Act and all other laws, it was further ordered that 
claimant pay costs of the proceedings.
