Disappearing Wilson Creek magnate linked to beet sugar hopes
S. A. Osborne, a Wilson Creek businessman, vanished nearly two months ago after selling horses in Mt. Vernon and carrying about 1500. A receiver now handles his affairs with assets estimated at 130000 and liabilities at 50000. An Omak Riverside Argus correspondent notes talks of a beet sugar factory near Okanogan irrigation lands, aided by Great Northern Railway interest, to benefit orchard districts. Separately, Edmonds Hindus plan land purchases near Everett for a Hindu town, while Lydia Billings wins 3000 damages from Snohomish city for injuries from a defective sidewalk, a case previously unresolved by a spring verdict.
