A drummer known as Captain Christie, who had been on a 
protracted spree in Tombstone, fell dead in a car on the 
NM&A road yesterday at Fairbank. He was in the employ of R.
F. Johnson and Company at El Paso.  Charles Granville 
Johnson held an inquest on the body.  The verdict was that 
he came to his death from natural causes.  The deceased was 
aged 56 years. His body was brought to Tombstone and will be 
shipped to El Paso. He had been drinking heavily for some 
days and complained of much pain. He was being taken home 
and had just been seated in the car and his attendant had 
gone out to bring him a pillow when he returned the man was 
dead.
