REAL ESTATE LAW. THE ORIENTAL BUILDING, The suit brought by C. M. Horton some time ago agaiust. the owners of . the Oriental Builumyg on La Salle street, questioning their uue.to one-half the property, came up before Judge Moran on ‘Yhursduy. The attorneys for the plaintiff faited to appear with any witoesses, or any preparations for the trial of the case. ‘The suit was therefore dismissed Moran. This removes the cloud 4 sought to patou the property, and which did lisc-spring prevent its sale. The litigation just brought to un end was begun after the present owners bad been in possession, undisturbed and disputed, for seventeen yenrs, und bad wwiee PUL up expensive buitdings—the one now stand- ing, and the one destroyed by the fire.
