Police Reconstruct Crime The Bhed in which the girl's body was found is no more than 60 feet from the Langseth home. The police in reconstructing the crime In theory believe that some one who was on the same street car followed her toward her home. There was a short struggle and then the girl was overpowered and dragged to the shed. Indications are that she made a desperate struggle to save herself.

Her clothing was badly torn and her throat was bruised. A strip torn from her clothing was fastened to one wrist. The police believe that she was unconscious when dragged to the shed and that there her hands were bound. Recovering consciousness and resuming her struggle against her assailant the girl is believed to have worked one hand loose but when sho was weak from strangling and unable to escape. Negro Also Arrested The I.angseths said that when Miss Osten did not return as expected Saturday evening they assumed that she was with her friend.

Nora Aas, 3321 Forty-third avenue where she had stayed overnight on several occasions last winter. The screams early Sunday morning alarmed them but did not cause them to investigate. The I.angseths were just preparing to drives to the Aas residence Sunday afternoon when the body was found in the shed. A negro was also arrested "or ciues-lioning in connection with the attack. The police were considering the possibility that the attack might have been committed by one of the three men who escaped from the insane asylum Saturday and have not been captured.

Miss Osten graduated from the high school at Pelican Rapids in 1926 and attended Minnesota callege last winter. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Osten. Uecall Other Brutal Slayings The murder of Pearl Osten is similar in many respects to the slaying of Dorothy Bowers in 1920 and the atrocious murder of Alice Matthews in 1912, both of which mystery cases have remained unsolved.

Dorothy Bowers. 17 years old and pretty, was an employe in a knitting mill and lived with her parents at 4903 Humboldt avenue on the outskirts of the residence district. She was killed on the evening of Oct. 13, 1920. John P.

Voight, who then resided at 4922 Penn avenue was on his way home from work and cutting through a clump of trees in the dusk when he noticed a dim form of a girl on the ground. He looked closer and recognized her as a neighbor and notified her parents. Among Unsolved Mysteries The girl had apparently been attacked from ambush while walking through the lonely district from the street car to her home. It was believed she was dragged some 30 feet STATE MUTUAL AUTO LICENSE PLAN ADOPTED Minnesota in Reciprocity Agreements With Its Neighbors The automobile license reciprocity plan between Minnesota and all the adjoining states and provinces except Ontario, under a law passed by the last legislature, went into effect between Minnesota and Wisconsin following a proclamation issued today. The Wisconsin law was passed in August, but slightly different from the Minnesota law.

This necessitated considerable correspondence between Mike Holm, registrar of motor vehicles, and the Wisconsin authorities, before the law could be made effective. Reciprocity arrangements were made with Iowa, North and South Dakota and Manitoba, early in the summer. Hilton Rules on Status At numerous points near the state line, questions have arisen as to the status of machines owned by people who have their residence In one state and their business in the other state. The question was submitted to Attorney General C. L.

Hilton and he ruled that a pleasure car should be licensed in the state where the owner lives and a delivery truck in the state where the owner has his place of business. The owner of any pleasure car, delivery truck or farm truck properly licensed in the state where it belongs may then apply to the registrar of motor vehicles of the adjoining state and for $1 get a permit which entitles him to drive across the line as often as he pleases. License All Trucks No trucks are allowed to operate in Minnesota unless they have either a Minnesota license or a permit under the reciprocity law. Tleasure cars from other states may come and stay 10 days without any permit and 90 days with a visitor's permit, but owners of cars making frequent trips acrossUhe state line from time to time tne year around must have a permit under the reciprocity law. Motor vehicles doing "commercial transportation over regular routes and between fixed termini," are specifically excluded from the provisions of the reciprocity law, hence both busses and freight line trucks must be licensed in each state in which they operate.

The Minnesota law also provides that reciprocity shall not be extended to trucks entering the state of Minnesota for the purpose of doing intrastate hauling." Gravel trucks and any other motor vehicles which come into Minnesota to do work of any kind must have Minnesota licenses. Even if they make occasional trips outside the state, they must have a Minnesota license before they can legally do any hauling between two points in Minnesota.
