Hill School Mt Geneseo, y. Y, and Wal
ter G. Patterson, one of Geneseos lead
ing residents, remembers Oyama, and
relates many amusing experiences of

scribes as an understood boy of fifteen,
heavy set, but bright eyed and keen
witted. Il am perhaps the first man
who saw Oyama under fire" said Mr.
Patterson, the other day. lone Satur-
day morning a crowd of students
started afoot for a peach orchard be-
longing to 'Tomp' Campbell. which was
a favorite place with the boys. While
climbing fence, Oyama was the last
over. Suddenly Mr.. Campbell ap-
peared with a shotgun. He took aim
Mt Oyama, and fired a charge of rock
salt into his body. Oyama stood the
pain stoically as one of the fortunes of
war to be encountered when raiding
