The blast caught Kocrek in the chest and he was dead when T. A. Coor, a neighbor, reached him a few minutes later. Coor told Sheriff T. D. Kridler, Deputy Bill Buchanan, and Justice of the Peace Frank Fly that he heard the shot and when he investigated founf Kocurek dead. The Oak Forest man apparently had gotten his gun after his dog treed a squirrel near the house and was using the gun to push down the fence so that he could step over, when the weapon went off. A brother, John Kocurek, who lived with Allie, said the two had eaten breakfast around 5:30 and he had gone overto a neighbor, Mrs. John Johnson, to help milk the cows. He did not hear the shot, but told officers he didnt hear too well. Funeral services will be held from the Baker Funeral Chapel Friday afternoon at 3, with burial at the New City cemetery.
