will open as usual for the winter sea-
son. The announcement is made pos

to the hotel. About a year ago the
present proprietor made a contract to
trade the hotel for property near Mil
alleged that Mr.. Painter discovered that
the Wisconsin property was not ac-
cording to representations, and there
fore Immediately entered suit to re-
cover title. The decision delivered by
the court yesterday brings the matter
to an end unless the case gets to the su-
preme court. The favorable decision
has again set on foot a rumor that
syndicate is trying to purchase the La
Pintoresca property, with the intention
more attractive hotel than it now is.
