Deadly sewage blamed for Illinois River contamination
Prof F J Zelt of Northwestern University medical school testified in a canal hearing that Chicago river water carried deadly bacteria from sewage. Experiments on guinea pigs showed death from blood infection after exposure to Chicago sewage, while Peoria sewage produced similar fatal bacteria. Water samples south of Chicago showed diminishing bacteria before reaching the river mouth, while Peoria water yielded lethal cultures. The Mayflower brings the Crack Artillery Company of London to Boston with Fort Warren greeting the men with guns.
