JEFFERsoNIAN SIMPLICITY
FUND is GROWING FAST
(Bg Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 6-Jeffersonian
simplicity is to mark the coming in
auguration of Woodrow Wilson as
President, There probably will be the
greatest outpouring of people that has
ever marked the Inauguration of any
President, but Chairman William Eus-
tbs of the committee said there would
be no ostentation. The subscription of
S150,000 for the Inauguration is grow

HAMMOND BUSINESS
man KILLED BY
SWEETHEART
MISS FLEMING, NERVOUS FROM
TARGET SHOOTING, FATALLY
WOUNDS GEO. ABBOTT.

Hammond, La, Dec. 26.-George H.
Abbott, manager of the Hammond
Coca Cola Bottling Company, was acci-
dentally shot and killed Wednesday
afternooonn by his sweet heart, Miss
Estelle Fleming, while the two were
engaged in target practice as a di-
version after their Christmas dinner.
Miss Fleming and Mr., Abbott were
guests at dinner at the home of J. D.
Kelley, in the south part of town.
When the guests had left the table
one of them suggested that they all
go out int the back yard and shoot at
targets. Rifles and pistols were pro-
cured and the guests began to show
their skill.
Miss Fleming nau nred once with an
automatic revolver. AS she turned,
with the weapon still uplifted. and
pointing at Abbott, someone else shot
at the target. The report frightened
Miss Fleming, already nervous over
the shooting, and she pulled the trig-
ger The ball entered Abbott's left
arm and side, passing through the
body and severing one of the arteries
leading to the heart. He died in TWEEN
ty minutes.
Miss Fleming is prostrated. She is
the daughter of Thomas Fleming and
is about twenty-five years old.
Abbott was thirty-two. He and Miss
Fleming had been sweethearts for a
long time, and it was. reported that
they were to be married soon.
The coroner held an inquest and
pronounced the killing accidental.
Abbott was prominent and popular
here. Because of his wide acquaint-
ance his death has cast a gloom over
the town. A brother, who lives at
Natchez, Miss has been notified, and
is on his way here. Abbott's mother
lives in Tennessee, but she has not
been informed Of his death, because
1t is feared she might not withstand
the shock. The body will be taken to
his home in Tennessee for burial.
