Mr. Hawn Visits Wausau.John Hawn of Stevens Point, known on the Wisconsin river in early days as “Sailor Jack,” is in Wausau to-day. There was a time on the “old wiseonse” when Sailor Jack was the beet known pilot and raftsman on the river, and hia name has even been embalmed in poetry by the sweet singer of the valley, Shan T. Boy, in his well known lyrical poem, “The Shanty Boy upon the Big Eau Claire,” wherein it was related that the love sick hero, in a fit of desperation,“Hid his saw In a hollow log,And traded off hi9 nx,And hired out as a talisman On a fleet of Sailors Jack’s.”Sailor Jack Is still a rugged citizen and shows evidences of the stalwart manliness that made him first of his class in pioneer days.—Wausau Beeord,
