Man and Wife Severely Burned

Mrs. Marcella Brown, 20 years, of 1815 South street, was frightfully burned at her home last night by her clothes catching fire from the range while preparing supper. Her husband, John Brown, in attempting to extinguish the flames, was severely burned about the hands and arms. Both were taken to the Polyclinic Hospital, where the physicians say the woman has a slight chance to recover.
