"COAL OIL J
JOHNNY" DEAD
John W Steele. Spent, For
tune That He Blight See
' Others Happy
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. .1. John
W. Steele, known widely in the
east half a century ago as "Coal
Oil Johnny," reputed then to have
spent a fortune of more than
S500.000 when oil was discovered
on his Pennsiyvania land, died of
pneumonia yesterday at Fort
Crook, Neb., where he was station
agent lor the Burlington railroad.
Steele, who was born In Shak
leyvllle, Pa., in 1843, when a
young man is said to have at
tracted considerable - attention in
New York by throwing away
money to boys and men on the
street apparently because be liked
to see them scramble for it. He
came west 45 years ago and had
been In the Burlington's employ
for 37 years.
Eight years ago. Steele worked
as a truckman at -Fort Crook, but
later became agent for the rail
road. ' - .
' Hl3 wife says that after the dis
covery of Oil on his Pennsylvania
land years ago, the money flowed
In as a royalty. They were mar
ried at the time.
The -publicity which the news
papers gave his newly acquired
wealth and the manner in which
he enjoyed spending it made him
an object of interest wherever he
went.
When he came west the days of
royalties were over, he flatly re
fused to tell of his experiences and
regarded that part of his career
as a closed- book. '
The stories about "Coal Oil
Johnny" never represented him as
gambling or making a profligate
use of his wealth, but rather as
enjoying the sight of others get
ting what was so difficult to ob
tain. Attending a theater in Pitts
burg one day, the story is that he
stepped out of his box when a
black faced comedian finished a
song and handed the man a $1000
bill and. asked him to sing it
again. s
The family lived in the station
house in four tiny rooms.
