Many Trailers
Need Licenses
Under New Law

If you own any kind of trail
er, find out if it requires a Ii
cense, and if it does, get your
trailer tag when you get the
tags for your car or truck, is the
advice issuing from the highway
department.
A highway bulletin calls atten-
tion to the change in the license
law relative to trailers. Former
ly light trailers used occasion
ally" were exempt. This was in
definite and made enforcement
difficult The 1929 amendment
definitely provides that all two
wheel trailers of less than 1000
pounds capacity used with pas
senger cars and not used in haul
ing for hire, shall be exempt. All
other trailers must have a state
license.
If you own a four wheel trailer,
if you have a trailer of more than
1000 pounds capacity, if you use
any trailer with a truck, or if
you use a trailer in commercial
hauling, the trailer must be Ii
censed.
The cost of a trailer license in
most cases is small. The mini
mum trailer fee is $500.
"Semi-trailers" which have part
of the load resting on the truck
ahead, must be licensed the same
as trailers. They cannot in any
case be considered part of the
truck.

Saturday, Jan. 4.-COunty Resi-
dent 81 Years.

Numerous birthdays are being cele-
brated every day but rarely COM
munity is privileged as the Sandstone
community was Saturday when it
helped observe the ninetieth birthday
of one of its oldest and respected
citizens, Emil Larson who on that
day reached his four score and ten
years. The setting was ideal in al
most every respect for an event of
this kind in that the aged man who
makes his home with his son, Albin.
was surrounded by his children,
During the day he was cheered with
kilograms and letters from friends
and relatives from other points who
could not be present during his re-
miniscent hour. Among those present
and who, herself has reached the
grand old age of IS, was a sister, Mrs.
Dan Nelson, living halfway between
Askov and Bruno.
Mr.. Larson is as spry as if he were
only sixty and his mind is just as
out the aid of glasses. He came to
Pine county in 1892 from his native
land, Sweden, and settled north of
Partridge, now known as Askov. Mrs.
Larson passed away several years ago.
He is the father of four sons and
two daughters, Albert, Sandstone vii
lage recorder; Adolph, state senator;
Oscar of Hayward, Wis, Albin. Mrs.
Fred Dahlberg and Mrs. Gust Gjertson
all residing at Sandstone. There
are also thirty grandchildren.

Mr.. Holm had come to Harris only
a week before and was employed by
James E. McGrath & Sons. Apparent
ly he was in good health and when
he went to bed Thursday night, sleep
ing together with another worker in

dictate that he was i'll. Early in the
morning his bed partner was awak-

before he realized what had happened
the man had passed away. Deputy
County Coroner Frank P. Gottry of
Pine City, was called, and the cause
of death was given as apoplexy.
Mr.. Holm was about 40 years old.
He was married but his family re-
sides in Finland Little is known of
him in Pine county but letters and
papers found in his possession indi-
Gated that he had relatives in Michi-
gan. A telegram was sent to them
but no reply was received.
The body was taken to Sandstone
and prepared for burial at the Larson
undertaking parlors where the funer-
al services also were conducted by
the Rev. John GjertsOn. Interment

New Angles In
Attic Staying
Come To Light


LOS ANGELES, May %. U.P)-
Two new developments in the mur-
der case of Fred Oesterreich, mill
ionaire Milwaukee garment manu-
facturer caused official speculation
today.
First, Oesterreich assertedly knew
of the "phanton love- between his
wife, Walburga, and the attic resi-
dent of their home, Otto Sanhuber,
jointly accused of the murder.
And second, the key W tn e 5 5
against them, Attorney Herman
Shapiro whose story caused the re-
cent investigation of the eight year
old murder mystery, is plaintiff in
$4,000 suit against the woman.
These revelations, particularly the
latter, may play an important part
in the trial of the pair on June s..
Shapiro, former counsel for Mrs,
Oesterreich, charged in the suit filed
nearly two years ago, that the wom-
an had agreed to assign to him her
claims against the Home Fire and
Marine Insurance Company for loss
es incurred in the destruction by
fire fire of Milwaukee property OF
the manufacturer.
The fire itself has been under in.
vestigation, and suspicion that It
was the result of arson has been
taken up by inurance claim investi-
gators.
The wealthy woman accused Sha-
piro of breaking an agreement not
to harass or molest her. In her an
swer to the suit is II paragraph from
her and Shapiro stating that they
would refrain from interfering
with the personal liberties of each
other.
