PLAINSMAN dies
NORMAN LEBO, ROOSENEIT'S
COMPANION IN THE WEST.

On February 5. at a hospital i'm
Dickinson, n. d., Norman Lebo died
at the age of S6 years. II may be
of interest to know that during
Rooseyelt's sojourn on a ranch in
the west-of the time treated in one
of his books OF the west-Norman
Lebo was his driver. camp fellow
and guide. In the books above mem
toned il was he of whom Roosevelt
said My driver was an old, wealth
er beaten plainsman, possessed of the
greatest fund of transformation OF
any mar had ven before seen"
In an humber capacity and not
so spectacular, his life was as inter
esting as that of Col. Cody. In 1849
he crossed the plains in a prairie
schooner dust fam he termed it.
Again in 1851 he went across the
western half of the continent. In
1861 he again embarked for the trip,
but in Missouri guerillas of the civil
war stopped him. and he turned
back.
In August of 1861 he enlisted in
Company + of the oath Illinois vol
unteers and fought during the four
years of that war. In 1876 he began
the life of trapper and scout, and
hunted Minnesota, Dakota Territory
and westward to Oregon. Five times
in all he traversed the continent
west of the Mississippi river.
He moved his family TO Medora,
N. D., in 1888. This was also Mr..
Roosevelt's first year in the west,
where he spent the next three sue
ceeding m In these seasons
the future president hunted the sur
rounding country for deer, bear. an
telopes and buffalo-it is said that
he shot only one of the latter in that
territory, and that n had already
been killed and skinned-but he got
cursions Norman Lebo accompanied
Roosevelt, serving as guide, cook and
driver OF the grub wagon"
Late in 1886 Roosevelt abandoned
the ranch he had established near
Medora, never to return for any but
the briefest visits. After the decad-
ence of trapping and hunting Lebo
made claim to a piece OF Uncle Sans
domain in the Bad Lands which sur
round Medora for many miles, and
lived quietly as a small rancher until
age and infirmity compelled him to
seek refuge with his children. Dur
ing the last years of his life s~enility
conquered him. He died in a hos
pital of extreme age. without a trace
of organic or functional disease
simply passed calmly out and pain
lessly, as God intended man should
do.

OFFICERS ELECTED
CHORAL SOCIETY RETAINS ITS
OFFICERS-PURPOSE OF
THE SOCIETY.

The Madison Choral society met
in the high school auditorium yester-
day for the election of officers. The
old officers were reelected. as fol
lows:
Pres, Chris Schultz; Vice Pres,
Mrs. John Walden; Treas, Horace
Mease; Sec, Miss Stella Olston, and
Musical Director, w. f. Mcmahon.
The object of this society is not
generally known, even among many
who know it's personnel well, some
thinking it to be a society singing
for the pecuniary gain. Instead OF
this it is for the purpose Of propa-
eating love of vocal music among its
membership, and to spread its mem
bership among communities. 1t is
of wide educational aim, and wholly
devoted to a better public under
standing of music.
The society now numbers about
sixty, but they hope to have a larger
membership later. 1t is their pur-
pose to take up the study of some
light opera or oratorio in the near
future, and render 1t for the benefit
Of the public as soon as they feel
assurance of an artistic rendition.
