PATTEN TAKING
LIFE VERY EASY
Chicago SpeculatOr Fishing for
Trout Without a Thought
of the Wheat Pit.

Trinidad. Colo, April 23.-Not satis-
fed with putting a twenty five-mile
strip of desert between himself and the
sound of the ticker and the telegraph
instrument, James A Patten, the bull
leader of the wheat pit. today deserted
the home ranch at Vermejo Park. n. NJ.
and placed an additional fifteen miles
between himself and the telephone that
forms the sole means of communication
between the ranch and the outside
world.
Wearied of dealing with the willy
shorts of the market he turned his at
tention to the equally willy trout of the
New Mexican streams and spent the
day in whipping the mountain brooks
with rod and fly.
Accompanied by H w. Adams. a bus
mess associate. and Clarence CoIvin of
Denver. a. guest at the ranch, he has
established his headquarters in a lone
ly cabin fifteen miles from the home
ranch, and will spend several days in
the hills. The cabin where the Patten
party is sleeping tonight is in the very
heart of the best fishing and hunting
country of the Rocky mountains. and is
located in the foothills of the Culebra
range.
Unwilling to trust to the discretion
of a servant. Mr.. Patten designated II.
W Adams as Official telephone Operat-
or at the Vermejo ranch prior to the
departure of the fishing party. Mr..
Adams stated to an Associated Press
representative that the party would
be absent from the home ranch for sew
eral days and made it plain that the
words wheat and market were ia
boOed among the guests at the ranch.
Mr.. Patten, according to Mr.. Adams,
has made no statement regarding his
attitude toward the market and has re-
iterated his refusal to do SO.
Apparently the broker has succeeded
in casting aside the cares of the
financial campaign which he has waged
for the last few months, for he slept
thirteen hours last night. The party
left the home ranch at 10 O'Clock this
morning, accompanied by pack train
bearing provisions for several days.
