THEY ARE TRUE Blue.
Johnny Hoy and Nick Jur-
gems the Heroes Of the Tri-
bune Fire.
They Work Amid Smoke and
Flames While Seventeen
Men Escape.
Both Share Notoriety, Giving
the Credit Each to the
Other.
But the Memory OF Their No
BILE Deeds Will Not
Perish.

Immediately after any great disaster
in which lives are endangered and
heroic efforts are made, there is always
a seeking for heroes, and invariably
the really brave men are lost sight of in
the first excited moments, and fellows
whose actiun during the time of danger
was really questionable, or men who
really were not phenomenally cool or
brave are crowded into the foreground
as notable examples of bravery, while
the real heroes from the natural mo-
deSty, which is part of the ideal hero
makeup, say nothing, and their acts
are not heard until later. The more
talkative fellows drop word of their
experience; it strikes upon eager ears,
and before he is scarce aware his mea-
ger experience is magnifed by himself
and hiS story-thirsty audience into a
tale, which, in the excitement of the
moment, crystalliZes into a fabrication
which. in his cooler moments, he can
not analyZe into true and false: and,
behind this misty screen, is hid the ac-
counts Of the true heroes.
1t iS Just week since the first ac-
counts of the terrible fire were heralded
throughout the land. At that time there
were plenty of stories and plenty of
heroes: and some of those stories were
accurate. too. and some of the heroes
were real heroes. But in the reports of
these were numerous drawn-Out yarns
of far-fetched fire experience, among
them the narrowing tale of young
man who was being shaved at a neigh
boring barber shop at the time Of the
fire. But two of the bravest men
were not mentioned on Sunday

morning. and it was simply because
they felt no glory in what they had done
or from an nGnest desire To shun nOtO-
riety, kept their acts rom the public as
long as possible.
The two heroes were NicOldy JurgPns
and John f. Hoy, the two truckmen of
Hook and Ladder Company No. l. who
carried the pompier ladder to the top of
the extension ladder and connected it
with the seventh floor, thus making pos
sible the escape of seventeen men from
tilat floor. Each man is equally deserv-
ing of credit, and both are unwilling to
admit that any special credit is due
them, saying that any man on the force
would have done as much as they.
Now. look here" said Johnny Hoy,
when accOsted by a reporter, whats
the use of making all this fuss about
me? There's another man who did
more than l did" And Nick Jurgens
was quite as willing to give all the
credit to Hoy. The other men of the
Company and the captain and chief are
all enthusiastic in their praise of the
work done on that night by the two
men. They all unite in saying They re
good men,"

It happened as follows: The hook
and ladder company had rushed TO the
scene and hurried the long extension
ladder up TO its full length, despite the
interfering wires that bent the ladder
almost to breaking. Then it was found
that the ladder reached only to the sixth
floor. while almost all the victims were
On the seventh floor. Then followed
the terrible struggle to reach the sixth
floor ledge in which some lost their
lives. Chief StetSon seeing the ne
eessitv. gave the order for two men to
carry a pOmpier ladder to the top of the
extension ladder Hoy and Jurgens
were standing near. and instantly took
the command to themselves. Jurgens
stripped off his coat, and grasping
the hook of the ponpier took
the lead, while Hoy followed
carving the other end. They went up
the ladder like squirrels, despite their
burden of sixty pounds, and reaching
the sixth floor stood on the narrow ledge
bracing each other and pushing the
heavy pompier up to the seventh floor.
It was no sooner hooked than the fren-
zied prisoners above crowded it, and
these two mep stood there, Steadying
the narrow. unwieldy ladder, speaking
words of encouragement to the fright
ened men. compelling the craZed to 90
slow and not crowd those anead. assist
ing the weak and steadylng those
who were faltering and uncertain,
while seventeen men passed
them and descended to safety, and left
them there alone among the fire and
smoke. When all had passed, the two
tiremen went up the pompier to the sew
enth floor, looked in the window to sat
isfy themselves that there was no one
left MANNED on the floor, and then, de-
seeuding to the sixth floor, again I'M
fastened the pompier and carried 1T
down with them. though it cost them
much valuable time They felt 1t would
have been a disgrace to have left it
hanging there.
Both men have received the hearty
thanks of their chief and the cOngratU-
latiOnS OF their comrades Both Of them
will be on duty this week again. Hoy
had badly-burned head. While steady
ing the pompier a piece of hot tin fell
across his hand, and he dared not let go
to shake it off.
,Jurgens and Hoy entered the service
together two years ago next March Both
of them are young men, and both of
them have always been considered
faithful and competent. While it is
doubtless true that any of the brave
men of the company would have Obeyed
the command. it is not TO be overlooked
that Hoy and JurgenS did obey 1t, and
did everything that two men could have
done. 1t might he we'll to mention in
