Tragic moments in Pottahawk history #7

In 1917 Lieutenant Charles "Stash" Jacotin, tried to buy the island with the intention of abolishing the yearly event and renaming Pottahawk, "Mustache Point". However, Stash was called to war before he could sign the final paperwork and was killed in action with the 2nd Calvary when his left testicle was impaled on a German bayonet. Definitely a tragic moment that proved favourable to the continuation of the annual July Piss-up.
