A Studebaker car with license number 173,732, was stolen from the streets of Monitor, 7 miles north of Silverton, between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning, according to word received shortly after noon at the prison. The report said that the car had been taken by four men, but no evidence was given to explain how this information was secured. The car was a 1918 model and was owned by Lawr ence Jacobsen, a farmer, living two miles from Monitor.
