On July 10, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 72 tubs, more or less, of butter 
at Minneapolis, Minn., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about July 3, 1935, by the Black Hills Farmers Union Creamery 
from Rapid City, S. Dak., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid substance.
On February 5, 1937, 84 tubs of the product having been seized and the 
Black Hills Farmers Union Creamery having appeared as claimant therefor, 
judgment was entered ordering that 41 tubs be condemned and destroyed and 
that the remainder be released.
