Conductor Reeves of the train, which was on the Boston and Maine railroad had attempted to arrest the men having been notified by the Do verspolee, they had robbed the Luddy \. Currier shoe factory at Dover and that they were on the train. x At the same moment, the Italian started out of the car. either from fright or to se- cure help, and one of the alleged rob- hers fired five revolver shots at him all of which took effect. The Italian died shortly afterwards.
 In the confusion which followed the shooting the two suspects jumped from the car and disappeared in the woods. When the train reached here word was sent to the police of this town and the cities of Dover and Portsplonth,, about 15 miles away, and posses started from each place to search the country.

 After leaving the train the suspects were located in the woods at New fields. where they were partly sur rounded by a posse of officers from Exeter and Dover and citizens of New fields. As about eight inches of snow fell yesterday it was thought the men could be traced without great difficulty and it was expected that they would be apprehepded during the day.
 overcoats which the fuyitives had dis carded in their haste and in the pock- cts were number of burglars tools. An( exalnination of the dead Italians body showed that he received four bull lets in the back and one in the ear. Letters and cards bearing business ad- dresses in Boston and Lexington. Mass, were also found
