-------------------------------

Chris Bredall, a former Akron resident, recieved burns in a fire at Alcester Tuesday from which he died several hours later. Over a year ago he and his mother went to Alcester to reside with her daughter, Mrs. Hyden.

Chris and Dr. Hyden had been working about the latter's barn. It is reported that after Dr. Hyden had returned to the house the alarm was given that the barn was afire.

Chris had remained in the barn and was terribly burned before he could escape or be rescued. It is the supposition that the fire started from the heating of clover hay stored in the barn.

Deceased was a brother of J. C. and Peter Bredall west of here.
