Lebé Grondong was een berucht verzetsleider of the Gajò Loeös, formerly the right hand and later the successor of Tgk. Moedö Péndéng, twice reported dead and finally submitting in 1912.
In 1910 the column of Darlang held the Péndéngvallei, so that Lebé Grondong moved with his followers to neighbouring sub-divisions. In March 1911 a brigade under sergeant Wisse surprised his hiding-place between Tampor and Lésten and reported him killed with his principal panglima and a follower, the booty being an M.95 rifle, a Mauser repeating rifle, a Beaumont and a Mauser self-loading pistol. In September came news that he was not dead: he had toured the Gajò Loeö during the hari raja feasts extorting from the population and had obtained two carbines on the death of the resistance head of Badaq; in October he murdered Rödjö Akoeb of Penosan in revenge for the latter’s journey to Koetaradja — but handed in a panglima, a goeroe and a carbine. In 1912 he came in submission.
