Eurp, Asa - In April, 1874 Thomas Burnes and Asa Eurp were together
going to a school meeting at Bollinger's schoolhouse, in Adair town-
ship.  They had been drinking "strong drink" and were under its 
influence.  On the way an altercation ensued, in which it was alleged
that Burnes stabbed and killed Eurp.  The former was given a prelim-
inary trial before Joseph Bollinger, a justice of the peace, by whom
he was acquitted on the ground of self defense.
