THE BURLINGTON MOKNINfi, NEW YARMOUTH ROAD IS ASKED Delegation Calls On, Plan Means Purchase of 1.5 Mile Eight-of-Way A request for a new county trunk- line road from Mediapolis to Yarmouth was presented to the board of supervisors by a delegation of nearly 100 men yesterday afternoon. While no action on such a route will be taken by the board until those interested in the project have presented right-of- ways for the road, two members of the board expressed themselves in favor of the new route. The proposed trunkline addition would extend 1.5 miles west of Mediapolis on the present trunk; the next 1.5 miles would have to be cut thru, continuing west to Mediapolis to Mehmken's corner where it would turn north and continue a half mile; 2.57 miles west and thence one mile north to Yarmouth. Roscoe would be Joined to the proposed trunkline by the present north and south trunk leading to Morning Sun. So far as was known yesterday afternoon, the miles of new road west of Mediapolis, would necessitate purchasing right-of-way, the cost being $100 per acre for land and damage, County Engineer A.

G. Baker said. The petition for the road carried the names of nearly 100 residents of the communities affected, Fred Eland, chairman of the board of supervisors said. The delegation was so large, that the meeting had to be held in the district court room. Need for a trunkline in that section of the county has long been felt, but two other plans for a trung have also been presented to the board and no action will be taken on any until they have been given careful consideration, members of the board said.

Vet Who Fought for Both Sides Observes His 89th Anniversary Maquoketa, March 17. James Sutton, Civil war veteran of Maquoketa, who holds the unusual record of having fought in both the rebel and the union armies, observed his eighty- ninth birthday recently. Mr. Sutton, by reason of having been born in Alabama, is familiarly in Jackson county as "Alabama Jim" or often as just "Alabam." He came here in 1865, just after the war.

There was a reason. '(It wasn't just exactly healthy to go back to Dixie," says he, fighting with the North!" So, after being mustered out. of Company Twelfth Tennessee cavalry, in 1865, he came to Jackson county with a member of the Twenty- sixth Iowa infantry, EH Moore, and here he has remained. Ha didn't even visit Dixie until 1908, when he found none of his family left except one sister, who died two years ago at the age of 95. Born in Marshall county, Alabama, he was left an orphan at eight.

Jacob Kenmore, a Pennsylvania Dutchman living in Marshall county, gave Jim a home. When trouble between the states broke out, Jim's early training in northern patriotism started to effervesce. He spoke freely and publicly in favor of Abe Lincoln. Hia Dixie neighbors resented it. In 1862 he was forcibly impressed into the Confederate army and served in Stonewall Jackson's army with the Forty-eighth Alabama cavalry.

He didn't like and after nine or ten months, during which time he had seen fighting at Seven Pines and Harper's Ferry, ho decided to leave the winter camp at; Fredericksburg, and Join a Union i army if possible. I He and eight or nine companions left the camp, traveling by night and hiding by day, and Jim Sutton and Bill Plckett got back to Alabama. Then he ('bushwhacked the bushwhackers" fighting against the men who were engaged in guerilla warfare against the Union men. At last he found that the Fourth Ohio was camped at Woodville, near his home, and by managing to get himself arrested as a rebel soldier, he got within the Union lines and laid his case before the officers. Permission was given him to join the northern forces and he was taken to Nashville, where he joined the Twelfth Tennessee cavalry.

I He la a member of the local G. A. R. post, and he assists In Memorial day observances, often serving as color bearer for the fife and drum corps. He lives in Maquoketa with his son, Glenn, having retired from his farm near Fulton.
