HORSESHOE IRRIGATION COMPANY Former Mayor of Spring City Sixty seven felony and misdemeanor theft charges were filed m Sixth District Court against former Spring City mayor Glen S. Osborne, involving the alleged theft of an estimated $44,000 from the Horseshoe Irrigation Company. The charges follow a nine month investigation by the Utah State Attorney Generals Office. Osborn, a Spring City native, was charged with 49 felony and 18 misdemeanor theft counts allegedly arising out of his employment with Horseshoe Irrigation Co. Charges range from July of 1984 to Sept. 13, of 1987. Sanpete County Sheriff Chuck Ramsey reports that Osborne was arrested and booked into the Sanpete County Jail; had appeared before Sixth Circuit Court Judge David Mower and was released on his own recognizance. He is set to appear for arraignment August 1 , before Judge Mower. Osborne worked for the irrigation company for more than 20 years as secretary, treasurer, and allegedly was involved with issuing bogus stock certificates and writing out company checks to himself, according to president of the irrigation charged with theft - felony company, Ray Strate. He also allegedly failed to pay all the irrigation companys sprinkler irrigation assessment to the State Division of Water Resources, resulting in heavy penalties and fines against the company. The matter was discovered following an audit one year ago. The company noted that only one signature was required to issue company checks, a risky policy for both the company and for the Utah State Division of Water Resources, Strate said The company borrowed over $1 million from the state to construct its pressurized irrigation system. The state required neither a bond nor dual signature on that account. We borrowed to install the system and then taxed to pay it back, Strate said. It was that payback amounting to $87,000 per year that wasnt being entirely met and created the heavy fines and penalties the company must now pay. Strate anticipates other problems will arise from the situation. Theres all that legal stuff that costs money and the penalties that wont be charged against him (Osborne), he said.

The tests must be 529-781- proper iron tests, not hemoglobin value or red cell count. Proper iron tests areTotal Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) together with Serum Iron. A good followup test is serum ferriun. Once iron overload is discovered, it is imperative to unload the excess iron as fast as possible b frequent bleedings.
