Mr Champeny told a Republican representative he would begin repairs and resume operations once settling with adjusters, signaling a favorable outcome. Nearby Will Dodson moved out goods from his barber shop and apartments as onlookers gathered. Eyewitnesses recall a rumor about John Quirk with a mirror and pillow, which he denied. Amateur photographers sought to document the blaze as townsfolk learned of the fire only after stepping downtown.
