Elliott operatsd Upon.

Danielson, May 7.-An operation was performed on John Elliott, the alleged murderer of Burt and Sybil Pettis, at the Brooklyn jail Saturday afternoon, and it was later reported that the frac- ture of Elliott's skull was due to a bullet which is believed to be lodged in his brain. The physicians who oper- ated upon Elliott were Dr. George M. Burroughs of Danielson and pr. Owen O'Neil of Willimantic.
 , They found a fracture about an inch and a half square, this on the left side and back of the head. The crushed section of skull was broken into eight or ten pieces and there was a hole near the top of the fracture, where the bull lodged somewhere in the forward part of the head. The bullet was not To- cated, however. E11iott's brains were oozing from the break in the skull be- fore the operation was performed. . Sunday afternoon Elliott was said : to be resting comfortably. He did not have much abnormal temperature and was in comparatively satisfactory condition, considering what he has been through.
 That Elliott shot himself is now the accepted explanation of how he came to be injured. In any event, no one of his pursuers has claimed to have seen Elliott during the time the hunt was on. Sheriff w. N. Bates, who un- loaded Elliott's guns after the cap ture, said that one of the magazine gun cartridge holders was filled, while the other was two cartridges short of be- ing full. This may or may not indi- cate that Elliott shot himself, but it is now believed he did. He isn't saying anything on the subject or on any other.

YALE BOUTS TIGERS
 IN TRACK MEET
overton Proves Big Asset to Blue vie-
 tory

Yale won the annual dual track meet from Princeton at Yale field Saturday by a score of 66 1-2 to 37 1-2 There were thirteen track and field events, and in these Yale won ten first places foT a total of 50 points. No records were broken, but excellent times were made.
 A light rain which fell Friday night may have had something to do with the fact that the performances were not record breaking. Ideal weather conditions prevailed overhead, for there was plenty of sun to keep the athletes from becoming chilled during their performance and there was practically no wind.
 Johnny Overton, the sensational young Tennessean, who has proved big asset to the Yale track team this year, won first place in the shalf mile and mile races. Colwell, of Princeton, and Overton ran a great race in the mile It had been predicted that Over ton would win this event easily, but as it turned out he had to fight Colwell every inch of the way, and only eight feet separated them at the finish. They covered the distance in min utes 23 2-5 seconds.
 The half-mile was one of the last races of the day, and Yale had won the men in this event. Accordingly, John Mack. the Yale coach, and W. M. Osler. IT,, the Yale track captain, told Overton not run in the half-mile, alohough he had been entered in that event. Overton 1oitered about the starting mark. and just before the starting gun was fired took his place ard ran tha race, disregarding the in- structions given him. He won easily, leading Barker, of Yale. to the tape by good margin.
 Cy Young who has slept very little during the last week on account of an Liberated tooth, won the two-mile run in g minutes 57 4-5 seconds. He Tapped four men before he finished one of the prettiest races of the afternoon. Princeton made a good showing in the 2.O-yard dash and the 220-yard hurdles.
 Captain Moore. of Yale. while Craw- ford of Princeton. defeated Farwell, of Yale, in the midst'''''"
 of Yale, in the hurdles. Yale's showing Saturday points to a close meet at Cambridge next Saturday, when the IGlis meet the Harvard team in a meet which will decide the last leg of cup for which both teams have been competing for five years.
