THREE KILLED IN FIGHT. Jetf Warren, John Rouse and Son Reported Dead. -Battle Near Fulton, Miss. Fulton, Miss., June 11.-News has been telephoned here from what is considered as reliable authority that three persons were killed this afternoon about fifteen miles north of here. They were Jeff Warren, John Rouse and his son, Garland Rouse. Jeff Warren was a former United States marshal, who resided at Aberdeen, Miss., but who lived near the place where he was killed. Rouse was reared five miles north of Fulton. They had been having law suits, and as they lived in the same community their d i f ferences increased and resulted as above mentioned. The row occurred in Mr. Rouse's field where Mr. Warren and his son had gone, perhaps to talk over these troubles. County Attorney Benson and Sheriff Gregory have been notified to attend the preliminary hearing of the CijFe, which will come before Squire Page tomorrow. Will Warren, the only sur\Tivor of the affr&y, will be tried at the preliminary hearing. All parties were heavily armed. R. J. Warren is said to have shot both Rouse and his son, Warren's son firing after his father did. Owing to trouble with telephone and telegraph wires, no further particulars were obtainable tonigh.
