 Tie Steele-Smith building, five-story structure, was completely destroyed by fire last December Only the walls of the building were left standing. Some parts of these walls were torn down. but big portion of the east wall was left stand ing.
 Just a few minutes after the fire broke out the white face of a young woman ap- peared at a window in the front of the Ham Shoe company. The girl looked about her coolly while the firemen put q ladder against the wall and prepared to rescue her. Flames could be seen leap- Ming at her back. The young lady bal anced herself on ledge jutting out from the building, and as soon as the ladder was placed against the wall she climbed down. She proved to be Miss Leta Moore. ! She was only slightly injured. Before she was removed to her home in an ambulance she made a statement to the effect that the store had large number of shoppers in it at the time of the accident, and that she was positive that a great many had lost their lives
