DIED FROM ALCOHOLISM.
Nicholas Fairbanks the Victim OF
Excessive Drink.

Excessive Drink.
Nicholas A. Fairbanks, bartender of
the Lone Star saloon on Commercial
street, died yesterday afternoon at 1870
o'clock from acute alcoholism. On Fri
day he was apparently in good health.
At $50 o'clock, he drank some milk
which was standing in a bottle on the
bar and was suddenly taken with
cramps in the stomach, suffering great
pain until the time of his death. The
possibility of suicide from poisoning
the milk was suggested, but this his
friends stoutly denied.
The body was taken to Watson's un-
dertaking establishment, and a post
mortem examination was held last
night, The finding was that the ston1-
ach was almost eaten away by the ex-
cessdve use of alcoholic liquors.
Fairbanks family lives in Payson and
will arrive in the city today to make
arrangements for the funeral. He was
about IS years of age and unmarried.
