MAINLY PERSONAL

THAT MYSTERIOUS WILD
ANIMAL, which periodically
appears in the area has been
spotted again by residents who
vow to have been perfectly sober.
This time two different persons
have described the large catlike
animal to be black, approximate
ly two feet in length with long
tail of approximately 20 inches.
1T looked very much like pic
lures / have seen of pumaS,"
said Delmar Ernst, who had a
good view of the animal down the
scope sight of his rifle from a
distance of 70 rods.
MIR. Ernst and his wife saw the
animal appearing to be searching
for mice along a hedgerow on
their farm seven miles southeast
of Bluffton on Route 2. When he
fired with his 30.06 cal. rifle,
the big animal appeared to have
leaped five or six feet into the
air, but if he was hit, was not
killed on the spot. The Ernsts
could not find him when they
went TO look.
Several weeks later Ronnie
Wolfrum reported seeing what
appeared to be the same animal
near the Truman Bixel farm.
Ronnie said that in the early eve
ming he was able to get a good
look at the black form. The eyes
of the large head seemed to be
five to six inches apart, he said.

TO THE EDITOR
April "a, 1859

April "a, IS09
Dear Sir:
Perhaps Bluffton knows of the
national TV time recently de-
voted to it, but in case it doesn't,
it might be of interest to the
readers of the Bluffton News to
know that Bluffton college and
college prank were topics of con-
versation on MICS popular coast
to-coast Tonight show.
Jack Paar, the programs host,
had as one of his guests, Tues
day evening April 21, Phyllis Dill
Ter, formerly of Bluffton and Gel
ebrated New York club comedi-
enne and entertainer. Miss Diller
performed an excellent comedy
routine, after which Paar men,
toned that it was certainly
unique to have two people on the
show that were from the same,
small Mennonite community in
Ohio.
The conversation continued and
it was revealed to the TV au-
dience that Hugh Downs, To-
nights commentator of CONNER
cials, and Miss Diller had attend
ed Bluffton college at the same
time. Downs went on to say that
Bluffton had a beautiful college
campus and a very wonderful
music department" He praised
Otto Holtkamp as being an "ac-
complished musician" and re-
lated a college prank that Mr..
Holtkamp, faculty and former
students may remember.
1t seems that several college
boys Downs didn't deny he was
one), decided that the college
chapel assemblies needed a bit of
humor and concluded that the
best and least evident thing they
could do would be to interchange
the many pipes of the great chap
el organ. The next day the I'M
suspecting students filled the
chapel as usual, and Professor
Holtkamp proceeded to play some
meditational organ music. After
several discordant notes, Downs
said, the assembly filled with
rollicking laughter, and with a
bewildered look of amazement on
his face, Professor Holtkamp
turned around and said, Some
body's been foolin' with this or
gan!"
Yours very truly,
Rod Jennings, former
Blufftonite,
