Another mystery bike

Namaste,
Well, I still don't know what kind of bike this is. Someone recently posted pics of a bike that looks very similar. Which he claims to be a 1901 Indian. So, I asked my Indian Bicycle Guru. The leading light of Indian Bicycles tells me that it is not possible that it is a 1901 Indian, he said that he doubts that it is even an Indian from a different year. But as the pundit says, "we are all here to learn".

Patric, aka hoofhearted asked me to take more pictures, so I took more pics and added them to the page.

Its been 4 years since I started this thread. I still do not have a positive ID. Pattee seems the closest, any ideas?
 
The rear drop outs and seat post binder system look like Tribune. Fork and crank assembly are not Tribune. Are there holes in fork neck for a name badge. Is there a serial number on bottom of frame under crank?

No head badge holes. No serial numbers. Fork seems original.
 
That Mead frame does look similar. The fork does not. The image quality is so poor, its hard to really tell. What year is that?
Thanks,
Chris
