LAREDO, Tex, Oct. THAT Cor
poral Leopold L. Lowell of Co. X, I'd
Maine Infantry was an innocent vic
tim of a bullet intended for another,
is the latest version of the shooting
affair in this city Thursday night
which resulted in the death of the
Maine guardsman. This informa-
ton was obtained from a high mill
tary official of the 9th infantry, who
stated no arrests have been made in
connection with the killing, and that
he knew of no investigation being
conducted 1t was stated in other
quarters that such an investigation is
being carried on, but what disclos-
ures have been made it is unable to
ascertain. With the I'd Maine now
on its way home, the body of Cor
poral Lowell is being held at the
morgue here. Lowell met his death
shortly after 10 at night in the south
western portion of the city. The
bullet, said to have been fired from a
rifle in the hands of provost guard,
struck him in the back, penetrated
the heart and caused instant death.
When he was killed, Lowell was
walking away from the guard, eating
peanuts, and fell with a peanut be-
tween his teeth.
Lowell had just stepped out of
little Mexican store, where he had
purchased bag of peanuts and was
about Il feet away when he was shot
down.

Cial light were introduced into the fac
tories, the working day Wa extended
far into the night. In 1910 American
cotton operatives worked II hours per
day. and as late as 1852 10 hours. while
today the average working day In the
mills is under ten hours. The hours of
labor of farm laborers, except IN har.
vest times. seem to have diminished,
and in considerable number of occu.
pations. notably in the building trades,
an eight hour day has been introduced.
In other occupations. affecting the
health of the workers or In which
women and children are largely EN-.
ployed, a shorter working day has
been secured by legislation. Hut this

and IL hour day is far from being ex-
tinct. During the ten years from 1891
to 1901, the average working day fell

rs years, less than one hour has been
taken from the hours of daily labor.
