(P. & D. No. 9770.    I. S. No. 2526-r.    S. No. W-282.)
On or about February 25, 1919, the United States attorney for the District 
of Colorado, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in tlie 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure 
and condemnation of 19 bags of cereal flour, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages at Denver, Colo., consigned by Charles Herendeen Mill Co., 
Danville, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about July 2, 1918, 
and transported from the State of Illinois into the State of Colorado, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the 
reason that it consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed vegetable and animal 
substance.
On April 16, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product should be sold by the United States marshal at either private 
or public sale for animal food only,
E. D. BALL, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
