Volunteers and the town water system helped subdue the blaze. insurance fully covered the hotel loss. A number of residents and helpers, including Ray and Stay Hill, suffered losses, and a local fund raised 40 dollars for a church member who lost clothing. Two other fires were reported at nearby farms, with substantial damage but neighbors saved additional property. Reopening and anniversary services were held in Aurelia churches with strong attendance and music. The Minnesota anti-pass law discussion is noted as a legislative joke amid debate.
