district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 776 cartons of unla- 
beled cans of pink salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 24, 1935, by Uganik Fish- 
eries, Inc., from Uganik, Alaska, and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.

part of a decomposed animal substance.
On May 19, 1936, the Uganik Fisheries, Inc., having appeared as claimant 
and having admitted the allegation]* of the libel, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be released under bond conditioner) 
that the decomposed portion be segregated and destroyed.
