MAN ATTEMPT
TO MURDER Wife
CLAIMING HIS WIFE ATTEMPTED
TO POISON HIM, FARMER NEAR
BRENT SHOOTS WIFE.

V. CueIla, Italian by birth, shot his
wife in the left shoulder yesterday
with one shell from a double barreled
shot gun. He was lodged in the county
jail shortly after the shooting, charged
with assault TO kill.
Cuella claimed that his wife had
tried to kill him several times lately
by mixing poison with his food and
that he attempted TO kill her as a
result of this. Mrs. CuelIa denied the
statement that she had been trying
to kill her husband by poisoning him,
and said that he had been under this
delusion for some time
The Italian made no effort to resist
arrest when the sheriff appeared upon
the scene and readily admitted that
he had tried to kill his wife. The shoot
ing took place at their home on the
Brent road just out of the city.
The shots entered the left shoulder
Of Mrs. Cuella, but she was gerrIng
along as well as could be expected up
to a late hour last night, and but lit
tie fear was expressed that the wound
would prove fatal. After the shooting
two daughters removed their mother
to the home Of hrs. Wise, a neigh
Dor living near. until the father was
taken by the sheriff. 1t is said that
the man had attempted to fire the
other shell in the gun when the woman
was not killed by the first shot.
Cuella is we'll known in the city
and has been selling vegetables on the
streets here for some years, which the
family has been growing on their farm.
From the actions of the man recently
the belief is expressed that he had
not been mentally balanced. though
nothing had been done tending to show
that he was desperate. The statement
of the man was not generally credited
that his wife had made several efforts
to poison him. The sheriff was accom-
panied to the scene of the shooting
by Probation Officer Pinney.

INFLUENZA IS
NOT EPIDEMIC
STATE HEALTH OFFICER GREEN
TELLS PEOPLE THERE is NO
CAUSE FOR ALARM.

For a period of twenty -four hours.
ending Sunday noon. the state board
Of health announces the occurrence
Of one hundred and fifty-nine reported
cases Of influenza, with two deaths.
For the same period twelve cases Of
pneumonia have been reported, with
four deaths.
DR.. Ralph n. Greene, state health
officer, states that the situation is in
no wise alarming, but there is no
means of determining how severe the
epidemic may be. Judging from re-
ports OF influenza epidemics else
where we may expect a gradual in
crease in the number of cases each
day. 1t is also probable, DIR. Greene
added, that the epidemic, even though
mild, will extend over a period of
from four to six weeks.
Cons citations We're being held yes
terday with officials of several rail-
ways for the purpose of securing more
day coaches on trains for the accom-
mediation Of local travellers. 1t was
suggested by DIR. Greene that appar-
entity the needs of Pullman car pas
sengers was receiving attention to
degree which threatened the comfort,
Florida, who usually travel only short
distances and in some cases under
conditions of crowding in day coaches
with too little room for passengers
TO find a sufficient number of seats.
Request is being made that railway
officials be invested with the police
authority OF the state board of health
under a plan whereby all white train
and railway station employees may
cause the immediate arrest of tray
elers VINO persist in splitting in cars
and waiting rooms.
The state health officer issued tel
egraphic instructions today to health
officials in all towns of less than ten
thousand population directing the
quarantine of all influenza cases. DR..
Greene explained that the problem Of
combating an epidemic in smaller
city is far different from that or
metropolitan center, and that for the
present health activities in the prin-
cipaI cities will largely consist of
urging against crowding into poorly
ventilated places, the avoidance OF
the common drinking cup and prompt
reporting Of new 70 ses. 1t became
known roday that observations upon
tempera ture, humidity and ventilation
were being carried out in the priil-
cipal schools, churches and theatres
i'm ceveral places. and that if the in
fluenza epidemic becomes more wide
spread such places will likely be
closed by order of the state board OF
health all over Florida.
DR.. Greene is optimistic for the
present and states: We have very
definite plans for activities in every
phase of fighting against Influenza.
These plans have been formulated,
after mature deliberation, months ago.
The state board of health wishes 10
prevent any undue apprehension upon
the part of the people Of Florida, but
expects fun and complete support
should such conditions become more
serious and necessitates drastic health
measures"
