DYER HOME
SOLD TO-DAY
FOR A SONG
Five Thousand Dollars Price
Paid by B. Hammer for
Handsome Home of u. S.
Pension Agent John w.
Dyer, on Indiana Avenue.

The John w. Dyer property on Indi-
ana avenue changed hands today and
is now the property of B. Kammerer
the proprietor of the Eagle buffet. The
purchase price was $1,000 and this is
conceded to be below the actual value
of the property. Rather than take a
chance on renting the property Mr.. Dy-
er decided to sell the property even If
could sell it more advantageously by
holding it for a time longer His po-
sition as state pension commissioner
will necessitate his removal to Indian
apolts. and this will take him out of
Hammond for four years at least.
The property itself is improved with
a ten-room house. on which Mr.. DYER
spent an additional $500 in improve
ments. The lot fronts on Indiana av-
enue and Logan street( having a 'front.'
age of 100 feet. The house itself faces
Indiana avenue and stands about 200
feet east of Oakley avenue. on the
northwest section of the lot, thus per-
nitting another fftv-foot lot to be cut
out without disturbing the house.
Mr.. Kammerer will occupy the house
Immediately.
Upon his return from Indianapolis
several years hence, Mr. Dyer will
build himself an elegant residence on
his South Holman street property. In
the meantime the Dyers will set up
housekeeping at Indianapolis

SUMMER
LAW SCHOOL
FOR THE CITY
Faculty of Lincoln Jefferson
College of Law Entertain
ing Plans for Summer Law
Course With DIR. w. G..
Keough at Head.

A summer law school is . possibility
for Hammond if the plans now enter
tafned by the faculty of the Lincoln-
Jefferson College OF Law materializes.
The plans for summer law school
came about because of a demand from
local students who are now attending
the night school and many others who
are taking the extension course.v Quite
a number of the latter have signiffed
their intention OF coming to Hammond
for the summer months in order to be
near the school and thus take advan-
tage of the resident school. The plans
as far as they have progressed now
provide for semi weekly sessions to be
held either in the forenoon or after
noon. DR.. w. G. H. Keough, dean of
the college. will personally conduct
these classes. The course itself will
be in the nature of a postgraduate
court extending through twelve weeks
with two semesters. A number of the
resident students have also signifed
their intention of taking up the sum-
mer course.
In planning for the summer course
the school is not looking toward the
financial returns. The faculty is anx-
ious to build up the school in strength
anu reputation as soon as possible, ana
there the expense is only a secondary
consideration.
IF the young men of this day would
only realize the great value to them of
legal education said DR.. Keough re-
Gently in speaking of the growth of
the school, our quarters would have
been too small for US long ago. AS
it is we will have to get into larger
quarters soon. But the trend is more
and more toward the study of law
People are learning that a legal knowl-
edge today is one of the greatest assess
that a business man can have. The
study need not necessarily be taken UP
with the idea of entering the profess
sion, and even a wide spread knowl-
edge of the law would not interfere
with the profession; on the contrary,
1t would create a better understanding
between the laity and the profession.
1t is reasonable to assume that a wide
spread knowledge of the law will help
to make better citizens"
1t was stated some time ago in a To-
cal paper that the Lincoln-J Jefferson
College of Law had Incorporated in IL
linois The statement was news to the
people connected with the college and
was not founded on fact.

that the Cedar Lake residents are go

hands this summer, that is technically
so, for instead of coming to Crown
Point to have the law administered and
settled in the various petty cases aris-
ing at the lake which do work for the
justices shops, it is the intention to
have justice shop of their own with
full-f1edged minion of the law at its
head
Other reforms of a far-reaching
nature are being planned during the
summer and the lake of the lake of
the Red Cedars may yet beome the
spotless town and purity spot of Lake

aptly put it. There was plenty of water
and plenty of space and plenty of soiled
