Her squaw, of ccurse, was a cigar store Indian of a type now almost ob solete. Mrs. Dicke located the statue in AtticaJ Ind., during a recent huying trip for antiques in which she deal s, and r ecognized it as of unusual value. She set it in a place of vantage in front of her home, but it must have tempted some passers-by, as from \Vedne sday night of last week when it di sappeared to Tuesday night of this, she had received no trace of it or information of its whereabouts . She oe l. eves the vandals who carted it otl em ployed a truck to move it. SEIBERLING Tire· Prices .
