PATTEN IN NEW MEXICO

Telephone Service to His Place of Rest Has Been Discontinued. Trinidad, Col., April 23. —James A. Patten arrived at Vermejo Park, N. M., the ranch of W. H. Bartlett, after a

drive of twenty-five miles through a mountain blizzard that has raged for twenty-four hours. Vermejo Park, which is sixty miles west of Trinidad, is twenty-five miles from a railroad or telegraph station and the servants of the ranch were instructed not to reply to the telephone. It was learned from a servant, before the telephone service was discontinued, that Patten had arrived safely for an indefinite stay.
