FRANK PATTERSON
May 11, 1897

S.S. Patterson, better known here as Frank Patterson cut his throat 
last Saturday at Shuts Ranch this side of Globe. J.H.W. Jensen, 
for whom Patterson had been working, received a telegram on 
Sunday night from W.T. McNelly of Globe apprising him of the 
tragedy.  Mr. Jensen left for Shuts Ranch yesterday. Patterson, 
who has been handling a lot of cattle for Mr. Jensen for 
several years, was in town last week and made a satisfactory 
settlement with Mr. Jensen.  He left here with Mr. Shuts last 
Wednesday. He was not particularly despondent at the time of 
his visit here, though in talking to his friends he said his 
life had been a failure.  Four men out of five, however, 
have made a simliar remark at one time or another without a 
thought of bringing the failure to an end.

Patterson was 43 years old and had lived in this part of the 
country for many years. He used to be a bartender for Jensen 
and after that managed a threshing outfit.  He was well known 
and liked by business men.
