Gang Had Attacked Him in His Office at Unionville, Conn.

Unionville, Conn., March 2 - A. A. Burnham, station agent of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad in this village, shot and killed one of a gang of burglars who had broken into the station early today. A complete burglar's git was found on the body but there was nothing to reveal the man's identity. His companions escaped after a running fight with the station agent during which several shots were exchanged.

Nothing was stolen from the station, as the burglars were surprised by the agent before they had a chance to open the safe.
