CAREER OF YOUNG MAN WHO
SQUANDERED MILLIONS WITH
IN SEVEN MONTHS.
A RECORD THAT HAS NEVER Been BEATEN
John w. Steele Who Acquired Worldwide Reputa-
ton by Throwing Money to the Winds. Dies in
Poverty in Pennsylvania Near Scene of
the Source of His Wealth.

Philadelphia.-In an unpretentious
house on a little farm near Franklin,
in the northwestern part of Pennsyl-
vania. there died the other day man
who some 40 years ago acquired a
most unique and remarkable distinc-
ticn. This person was John w.
Steele, better known as Goal Oil
Johnny" king Of all the spendthrifts
the world has ever known.
1t is several years now since this
once famous character had passed out
of sight Of the general public. but the
record he established In the few short
months that he was rolling in wealth
will long be remembered.
Has Wealth Untold.
Inside OF IL months, beginning at
the close Of 1868, John Steele did per-
haps more to advertise the wealth OF
the Pennsylvania oil region than any
other ten men. He advertised its
wealth by spending 1t. A beardless
boy, he woke one morning to find him
self possessed Of untold wealth In bulk
and an income from oil royalties of
Sl,750 per day, Sundays included. He
did not know the value OF money, has
not to this day any idea of how much
money he had and spent, but II has
been estimated at from $l,500,000 to
$4,000 ,0OO
Be the amount the first or last
named, the fact remains that in seven
months time from his coming into
possession Of this immense wealth he
went through II and was broken. In

a Croesus, he was back at the little
railroad station at Housewife. venan-

went back to work after the tragic
death Of his foster parent.
Yet he couldn't enter into the full
enjoyment of this money, for he was
not of age. and the proper authorities
simply took the immense estate In hand
for the few short months which d.
vided the young wagon driver from his
millions. During this short time Steele
showed some good business judgment.
There were hundreds who would have
loaned him anything on his prospects,
but to his credit be II said he did not
go heavily into debt. He was content
to wait until the money came to him,
and in the meantime, through the prop

big interests just at the time the oil
boom reached the crest. He disposed

John Steele was born near Waterloo,
venango county, Pa, In the fall of
1S41. He was left an orphan when but

thrifts.
The news soon spread throughout
the world of this modern lad of money
and that he was easy. From the north
south and east and from the gold
camps OF California came gamblers
with the old brace games for fleeing
Johnny Steele. For him, It's now said,
specially crooked faro boxes and rou-
lette wheels were made. for he did not
long remain in ignorance of the games
and the time came when he had to be
shown that he LOSE on turn OF the
card. He was always shown. His
losings at the gaming table In the first
half Of his moneyed career were some
thing fabulous. Then he seemed to
| tire all at once Of the game and sought
new fields for enjoyment.
Horse That Drank Champagne.
One night at Bradford. Steele rode
down the main street at full speed on
q beautiful mare, for which he had
paid $4,000, and through the swinging
doors Of saloon where 100 oil men
were doing their best to emulate him
in getting rid Of their money. He did
not know a soul, but that didn't mat
ter.
I'm Johnny Steele. Close the doors
