Getting Mexican Woodchoppers.
-----

       H.C. Williams returned from Laredo with a bunch of twenty five Mexicans this morning.
       He will use them to cut wood on the LaPrelle ranch east of town.  He left Laredo Sunday night with twenty-seven, but two left him on the way up.  Just before reaching San Antonio one of the umbras jumped from the train while it was moving at about 30 miles an hour.  Another quit him at Buda.  The gang is in charge of a foreman who speaks English.
