He attended school in Medora and herded horses at the Eaton Brothers Ranch until being diagnosed with polio in 1895. After receiving treatments in Dickinson and Minneapolis, he returned to school in Medora. He attended the University of North Dakota, then returned home to help his father with ranching. He filed for his own homestead near Ranger, N.D. Lebo was elected as Clerk of the District Court of Billings County in 1908, and was elected judge in 1923. He was also register of deeds for the county. Lebo adapted his car with hand controls, and also used a specially designed cart.
