EUGENE DILLEY IS IMPROVING.

But What Effect Operation Will Have on Mental Condition Not Yet Known. At the city hospital today it was said that Eugene Dilley was recovering in a satisfactory manner from the operation of Saturday, when a part of his skull was removed. Just What effect the operation will have on his mental condition, can not be told for some time, it was said. When Dilley was received at the hospital he was apparently rational. In fact, he has shown little trace of mental trouble since he was reunited with his family at Trafalgar some weeks ago. However, it was feared that his injury might cause him trouble later and cause him to wander away from home. Some years ago Dilley was robbed and struck on the head with a brick, causing a depression in bis skull that affected his brain at intervals. During one of these periods he left home and was not heard fronv until he was found at the Pentecost Mission in this city.— Indianapolis News.
