View Comments In October 1881 several El Paso businessmen paid newspaperman Simeon Harrison Newman $1,000 to move his paper from New Mexico to El Paso and rename it the Lone Star. The paper was a semi-weekly until it folded in January 1886. Newman stayed in El Paso, working as an insurance agent, until his death on March 2, 1915. Here is the Lone Star s account of what was happening around El Paso in the first week of January 1883 from a column titled Lone Star Locals : Wednesday, Jan. 2, 1883 Earth was placed around the city hydrants this evening to prevent them from freezing.
