The only persons seriously ill are Burright, Stamp, Henderson, Cummins, Seeley, and G. P. Taylor." Of these named only George P. Taylor, Father Taylor's oldest son, went west during the gold excitement, and on the third trip he died in Colorado. If the others stayed it was not because the fever did not run high. The migrations from Minnesota to the gold fields, bringing restless adven- turers into the little settlement in passage, were enough to keep things stirred up among a people that had co...me west for adventure and had not been having much of the expected sort during the wet summer. The reported abandonment of Algona by the gold hunters inspired the Bee poet : They are going, we're told, Where there's plenty of gold, On top of old Pike's Peak. Their fortunes they'll double, 'Without the least trouble, In a month, if not in a week. They'll go out with ox teams, They'll swim all the streams, And prove that the boys of our town Are of the right kind of stuff, And will pocket enough Of gold to compete with John Brown.
