Lestlie and his brothers came into the Oklahoma Strip and worked as cowboys for the different cattle ranches. Les did not make the run but shortly after in 1894 he purchased 160 acres from a man for a horse and saddle. He lived on this claim for nine years, built a small home on his homestead and on February 5, 1902 he married Mary Good, daughter of Abraham and Sarah Good. She had been living with her parents on a farm northwest of Hardtner Kansas.
Les helped initiate the cattle industry in Woods County, Oklahoma and his name appears on the Cimarron Cowboy monument at Freedom, Oklahoma.
