TOMBSTONE, Feb. S.-The grand jury
 yesterday found indictments against
 DOwd, Kelley, Sample, Howard and De-
 lsney, the Bisbee murderers. This
 morning the prisoners were brought into
 court and plead not guilty. J. B. South
 ard, Col Stanford, T. J. Drum, F. V.
 Price and Col. Herring were appointed
 to defend the prisoners. By consent of
 the prisoners 1t was agreed that while
 five should be tried at once aftidavits asking for continuance were filed by the defendants at-
 torneys stating the impossibility
 of procuring material witnesses and getting fair trIal at the present time, on account of the state of public feel ing against defendants. District Attor- ney Smith and deputy attorney Judge Robinson admitted the contents of the sf- fidavits, and the court ordered the trlal to proceed. The jury is now being en- pannelled; the court room is crowded with spectators; the prosecution claim to have indisputable evidence that the prisoners at the bar are guilty as charged. The prisoners all seem to have little realization of their position and laugh and joke with each other and their counsel. John Heith was also indicted as acces yory to the Bisbee murders; but will have a separate trial, he is being defended by Colonel Herring. The grand jury found sn h. dictment for murder against Sergeat Lawrence who killed 8 man in bar room fight at WillcoI some monts since
 WAsHINGToN, D. C., Feb. S.-The re- port that Congressman Ochiltree IS engaged to be married to Miss Mscksy the bonanza millionaire's daughter is republished here, or at least Ochiltree's assertion of the fact to Congressman Cassidy, of Nevada. The way the en- gagement was brought about is thus described by the Texas member: Last spring he was in New York and when there, met his old friene Macksy. In the course of conversation Macksy said Tom old boy, why don't you get mar ried." Ochilsree replied 'Oh never yet found gal who would have me-" "Oh pshaw," said Msckey, "there are lots of worse fellows than you; you have never tried" "Mackay, my boy, l propose to test your sincerity; now you have gal who just suits me. Can have her" If you win her hand, Tom, I will give my consent" That is all the chance want" said Ochiltree, and according to his authority this was the motive of his trip to Europe last Summer. He went to Paris and became a hated rival of proud dukes, earls and mar quIses, who were tluttering about Miss Mackey. The Texas member says he over them all. The strong virtues of an American soldier of fortune oaptivated Miss Mackay. The date of the marriage IS not fixed. When the marriage takes place 1t Is expected Maekay will settle at least million upon the bride.
