Newton County Wins Out.

An inter-county horse-shoe pitching match wus held at Rensselaer late Saturday afternoon. The contestants were John Heed, of four miles south of Rensselaer and Sam Butts, of Colfax township, Newton county. The match was for SSO a side and the championship of the two counties. The match was to consist of 11 games, of 15 points each game. The distance of the two stakes apart was 40 feet. Only six of the 11 games were played, as Butts won the first six hand running, and this won the game. Butts scores

were, of course, 15 points each game. Reed’s Scores were 5. 6,10, 6,7, 6, for each game. Both men are experts in pitching horse-shoes, although if Saturday’s game was the best he could do, our man Reed is not in it with the NewtCn county man. Geo. W. Goff was the stake-holder and he turned over the SIOO to the winner when the game was done.
