A ROMANTIC STORY FROM COLORADO.
The Pueblo papers announce that General Eugene Kenilworth Stimson has fallen heir to a large fortune by the death of an uncle in Scotland. It affords the “ Tribune ” pleasure to be able to confirm the statement. By the demise of Edmund Bruce 'Wallace Kenilworth, seventh Lord Laurie, our competent State Engineer comes into possession of an estate valued at £350,000. It is not generally known but General Stimson is a native of Scot land. He is the oldest son of a youngest son, and was born in Kenilworth Castle, seventy miles north of Edinburgh. Daring the Macduff-Boswortb insurrection in 1858 he played such a conspicuous part as a leader of the clan Bosworth that ho was subsequently compelled to flee away to America, where ho assumed the name of Stimson. Ills uncle, Lord Laurie, was the intimate friend of Sir Waller Scott, and it was while a visitor at tho former’s castle, Kenilworth, that Scott wrote his groat novel of that name. Lord Laurie’s oldest daughter Annie Laurie,
was the celebrated beauty whoso charms have been immortalized in the most popular of Scotch ballads. One of her daughters, Miss Meg McDonalhain, was in Denver last summer visiting General Simpson’s family. A part of the estate which has suddenly fallen to General Simpson is the grand old castle of Kenilworth, with its magnificent parks, preserves and rentals. Vyhat the General intends to do with his newly-acquired fortune is not known. It is probable ho will sail for Europe early in the spring, as a visit to Edinburgh is necessitated to claim the estate and transact the consequent business.
