CAPT. LAUGHORE'S CAREER.
He was Regarded as one Of Shelby's
Most Able Lieutenants.

Captain Maurice Langhorne, whose
death at Kansas City, Mo-, has just been
announced, was born in Cumberland
county, Va, about seventy years ago.
His father was DR.. Wesley Lanehorne
a widely known practc!ng physlclon and
near relative of tho large LanghoIne
family of this city. Late in the tairties'
Dr. LanehOne with his wife ana emil
drcn and numerous slaves, lett as nome
I'm Cumberland, and in private convey
ance. including vehicles OF all descrlp-
lions. emigrated 10 the State Of Missouri.
Ivnchburg was reached early IN their
Journey, and here they tarrled Tor sew
eral days as the guests OF Colonel Maui
rice Langhorne Sr., father of the pres
ent Colonel Maurice LanghOrne. a promi-
nent resident of the city.
The narration Of Captain Langhorne s
career would constitute an interesting
history. Prom an early age he evinced
a rowing disposition. and was among the
first of the fOrty-niners who landed IN
the gold fields Of California. II Is said
that he found one Of the biggest mug
gets of that time. Encouraged by ms
success he induced his father and moth
er TO ioin him In his far Western home,
and there they resided for some time.
After some years. however, they return
ga 20 Missouri and were living there
when hostilities broke out between the
States Captain LanghOrne was among
the first 10 enter the Confederate service.
At the beginning OF the war he became
connected with General Shelhy's com
mand as q captain. but WAS soon pro-
NOTED TO a colonelcy, I'm which position
he rendered gallant and valuable ser
vices. being regarded as one of Shclby's
most able officers. At the close Of the
war. being like many others Of the South.
unwilling TO resume citizenship IN the
United States. he volunteered and was
appointed captain In a regiment raised
bv Shelby for service in Mexico under
Macmillan Owing TO objections raised
by the United States government Maxi
milan was unable TO receive the regi-
ment. and as a consequence the command
, was compelled to return Captain Lang
horne took up his residence at lndepen-
dence No. where he became the editor
i OF paper. and where he resided almost
without interruption until shortly before
