DESERTER FROM
ARMY Arrested;
IS JAILED HERE

Joseph O. St. Cyr, originally from
Providence, r. l., was apprehendcd
at Eelen yesterday by an agent of
the bureau of investigation, United
States department Of justice, for rep
re3enthg himself to be Il provost ser
geant on a special mission for the
government.
St Cyr under the name of Gustof
f. Anderson, had certain papers pur-
porting to be signed and counter
signed b yofficers at Camp MacAr-
thur, Texas. One document commits
stoned the bearer to apprehend GER
tain deserters. The alleged deserters
were described in detail and st. Cyr,
or Anderson, as he was called in the
commission, was given permission to
travel mot to exceed ! 500 miles from
Camp Macarthur" in his hunt for the
deserters. Another document set
forth that money, amount not stated,
had been deposited to his credit in
a Waco Texas, bank and bankers
We're instructed to honor his checks,
st. Cyr was brought here for exam
ination and after telling number or
conflicting stories admitted that he
had deserted, also that he had forged
the papers in his possession. The
letter of credit" he said was forged
for the purpose of getting money to
send home to his folks who were in
need of financial aid. He admitted
getting about S125 from several
banks, few of them in New Mexico.
1t may he that subsequent investiga-
ton will show that he obtained a
larger sum than this.
st. Cyr, when arrested wore ci-
william clothes, including a cowboy
hat with wide leather band around
1t, ana a wrist watch. He evidently
planned the whole matter carefully,
as one Of the forged documents he
carried gave him permission to dis
card his soldiers uniform while look
ing for the supposed deserters
1T is strange that St Cyr managed
to get by for almost a month on the
forged documents. as the spelling was
poor ana the tvpewriting work abOm-
Unable, Furthermore. his supposed
credentials were written on ordinary
white typewriter paper and there was
not thing about them to stamp them
as having emanated from the gov
eminent through its army officers
st. Cyr is held in Jail here until he
can be returned to Fort Macarthur.
He may be punished for desertion.

FLU EPIDEMIC
IS ON DECLINE
IN ALBUQUER

The Spanish influenza epidemic is
under control in the city and there
is a gradual decline in the number of
eases, it was stated last night. al
though no official figures were avail
able showing the exact number of
cases existing at this time 1t was
said that it would be next to impos-
sible to keep tabulated information
regarding the variation IN number of
cases for the reason that many per-
sons who were afflicted with the dis
ease have recovered and gone about
their business, while new cases have
been added to the list.
In the rural districts, however. it
is not believed that tho epidemic has
reached its crest.
Taking the state as a whole. the
conditions are thought TO have inn
proved slightly. There seems to be
a decrease in the number of cases in
the cities and an increase in the
county, with slight reduction in the
total number Of cases as compared
with few days ago. Figures given
out yesterday b. DR. w. f. Kafer
secretary of the state board of health,
ut Las Vegas. and Surgeon John w
Kerr of the United States public
health service. were to the effect that
414 new cases and eighty-four deaths
were reported on October IS. while
only $50 new cases and twenty seven
deaths We're reported the following
day. Up to October "a there had been
10,099 cases of influenza and 456
deaths resulting therefrom IN the
state. according to DR.. Kerr.
Nothing has been given out Off
cially regarding lifting the existing
quarantine here.

ALL MIGHT LETTERS TO
Be DELIVERED BY MAIL
CARRIERS IN FUTURE

The Western Unm Telegraph COM
pany states that beginning today the
company will mail all night letters so
that same win be delivered by the
regular mail delivery that is sent out
in the morning.
The reason for this change in the
regular rule is on account Of the
shortage of messengers. Also since
the government has assumed charge
of the telegraph there is a duplication
of labor which can be largely elmin-
ated by having the mail carriers make
delivery of otter night accumulations
of night letters on their carly morn
ing routes.
The plan contemplates that night
letters handled by postmcE shall be
delivered at the opening hour of
business offices or shortly thereafter.
Where an early delivery is essential,
for messenger delivery
will be made on request.
The postmaster has been notified
that if addressee is not located, to re-
turn the message 70 the company's
office.
