PAGE EIGHT i MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1921 ——— QUEEN OF THE ~ MBDORA RANCH “Death of ‘M calls Picturesque Days of Past Those who read in the Tribune of the death of Madame De Mores will be interested in the following intimate account of her activities with her hus-; band at Medora, | Madame De Mores, widow of ,Mar- quis De Mores of Medora fame, died at her chateau in Cannes; trance, ; Wednesday morning. The news? reached here at toon the same da. through a cablegram to T. A. Davis! of Medora, who is in charge of the; Le Mores estate a that place. The! message gave no particulars other) than the brief statement that the; former “Queen of the West" andj namesake of the little Billings county} capital had passed. i There are but few people whose lives,,were so closely interwoven in the early history of western North; Dakota and especially of the Medora} country as those of Madam De Mores | and her husband, Marquis. A study/ of their life during their residence in| the ‘Bad Lands reads like a fairy tale. | Had it not been for them there prob-| ably would be no Medora today. It was they who founded the town, sus-| tained it during the éarly years of its growth and sunk a collosal fortune in endeavor; jt the greatest) town of RE fopete | igh the enter-| prises they “established. ‘Madame De Mores was about 65 Years of age, Unlike her husband, who was altogther Franch, both in ancestry and ‘customs, she was the daughter of a rich New York banker and her maide name was Medora Hoffman. She is survived by three children, a son and two daugiters, all of whom lived af Medora with their Parents and how reside in France: The Marquis was assassinated whit on a hunting expedition in Africa in 1889. The estate at Medora, coni- posed of about 8,000 acres, together ith numerous buildings in’ the town, still remains intagt. A caretaker has begn constantly émployed to keep up the huildings and their chalet, which was Considered a mansion in the early days, remains exactly as Madame De ‘Mores left it on her last visit to Medora seventeen years ago with the exception of changes made necessary by the ravages of the elements.’ It is) not likely that any disposition will be made of the estate at this time, | The passing of Madame De Mores; will cause old timers who ‘remain in| this’ section to recall maiiy? thrilling ingidents in connection with! the life; of the Marquise and her ‘dashing young husband, who staked ‘and sac- rificed so much in their desire to es- tablish a proud empire in the west. It opens for a moment a long closed page in the history of a sedate grain growing and stock, raising state that has taken the placeyof the wild coun- try ‘that the De Mores’ found wht they came. to‘establish their’ ranch.’ | _The “Marqujse was described as a beaufiful, winsome young matron whew. she first came to Medora. It was there that she acquired wonder- ful ability asa horseman. That, aid her courage are still the talk of the Bad Lands. a Seventeen years ago she! returned to Medora with her childten: for a brief visit, giving as her éxcuse, “! just wanted \to see Medora. I want- ed’ my children to see the place where they lived so long. 1 have no plans. 1 Joved Medora, I love it still and it wilt be very dear to my. memory. I will not let Medora die, until after E do. I can’t tell just what 1 will do but I' just had to see the old ranch.” Many stories have been told about her kindness and generosity. She was a charming hostess and while the De ‘Mores made their home at Medora their house was always filled with guests, {many of whom were persons of distinction.. ‘During the dark days of tha World War she proved herself FIT TO FIGH ees greatest battles | tad weakness.

WEST PROUD OF She was the god-/ mother to John Goodall, Jr., a form: er resident of Dickinson, i The career of the Marquis was a checkered one. Backed by the mil-/ lions of his wife’s father he laid the| foundation of a wonderful establish-! ment at Medora in 1883. ‘He con-/ ceived stupendous plans for furnish ing beef to the markets of the world. He built an immense packing plant | and made plans for a line of packing! plants that would e-.end {0 the great! He established a stage line between Medora and Deadwood, S. D ' The packing ‘plant business passed into the hands of the great packers and the building which housed: it! burned several years ago. The stage line was soon’ abandoned. | In spite of the quick temper and, flighty disposition which charcterized | the Marquis, old timers stete that ‘ie, was brave to the last degree, adven-' turous and always eager to invest in some ‘new scheme. It was while he resided at Medora | that he was arrested in connection; with the killing of a cowboy by the! He was tried) for murder at Bismarck but was nev- er convicted.

Shortly after he or-| gahized an expedition. to norther| Africa and it was there that he was, shot from ambush, supposedly by his; enemies, while-he was exploring the; jungles.
