On September 16, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Texas filed a libel against 15 30-pound cases of butter at El Paso, Tex., al- 
leging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about Sep- 
tember 9, 1942, by the Trinidad Creamery-Co. from Clovis, N. M.; and charging; 
that it was adulterated, in that the product consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy substance as evidenced by the presence of insect parts, rodent hairs, plant 
fiber, and nondescript dirt. The article was labeled in part: "Colorado Gold 
Brand Our None Nicer Creamery Butter."
On October 22, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered to be turned over to the Salvage Unit 
of the Conservation Division of the War Production Board.
