THE RAYoLD SQUlRMERS
How the Bacilli Prodigiosi Were
Emptied Into the st. Louis
/. r III Drinking Water. ..--..

. St. Louis, March 19.-Edward Ravold, a
former cowboy and mining engineer of
Arizona, and a brother of Bacteriologist
DR.. Armand Ravold, was the man who.
unaided, dumped 107 barrels Of imported
bacilli prodigiosus into the Chicago drain
age canal on the night Of Nov. 6, 1901,
and thereby enabled his scientific brother
to establish the fact that the germs
f1oated down to St. Louis. .:te1- ,
After DR.. Ravold had imported and
propagated the bacilla he was at a loss to
secure somebody to dump them into the
drainage canal and carry out his plan.
Almost upon the point Of giving up the
project he thought of his cowboy brother
and sent for him. For the compensation
of $1s5 the brother consented to perform
the deed. The barrels were loaded on to
two fiat cars and transported to Lamont,
| Ill. Meanwhile the cowboy had already
gone to Lamont and became acquainted
| with the situation. When the barrels ar
rived he alone and unaided rolled the en-
! tire LOT barrels to the drainage canal,
| opened the bung hole and poured the
squirming contents into the canal. lie
worked quietly all night and the watch
man found the empty barrels along the
canal bank the next morning. Ravold
| then returned to ST. Louis and has since
| been located there The facts in the mat
ter have been kept a dark secret until
after Dr. Ravold's testimony before the
drainage canal commission recently and
DR.. Ravod finally consented to relate the
| details ~ -. -. .-. .'..

SLAIN IN HIS BOAT
Hunter and Farmer Of Walnut Lake,
Mimi, Found Lifeless From
Gunshot Wound.
Bert Ronk Confesses to the Killing
but Declares It Was in
Self-Defense.

Special to The Journal.
Wells, Mimi. March 19.-Bert Ronk was
arrested at the Leland hotel in this city
this morning at 2 o'clock for the murder.
late on Tuesday at Walnut Lake. six
miles south, of Charles Eberline, a farmer
and hunter The dead man was found iii
his boat on the lake, with one leg thrown
over the side of the boat and resting In
the water. He had been killed by a shot
gun, a gaping wound appearing below his
heart.
! . Ronk who is to have a preliminary
hearing late this afternoon, has said very
little, and the details Of the affair are
lyet lacking. He insists that Eberline first
fired upon him and that his shot was in
self-defense. He was accompanied by Art
Nipple, his brother-in- law, who, it is ex-
pected will tell the same story on the
stand. $.&9. .ss sgss i
The authorities were not notified until
yesterday. and late in the afternoon the
! deputy coroner. Dr. T. s. Holm of this
place, went to Walnut Lake and held an
inquest. Soon thereafter Ronk came to
Wells and his arrest followed.
! There has been a good deal of trouble
in the Walnut lake neighborhood for years
and it is believed the shooting was. the
outcome. Ronk is an inoffensive appear
ing young man and seems to appreciate
his situation keenly. He. was married
only short time ago to sister of Nipple.
Eberline was about SO years of age and
Ileft a wife and six children. He was a
/ farmer and hunter and had a cottage on
the lake which he leased to hunters and
resorters. Not returning home on Tues
day, his wife made a search and found
