Diary
for an hour and a half when it abandoned the
shattered hulk and another soul was sent into
eternity for a woman’s ruin.
The killing of Mason recalls the death
Prominent Yoakum citizen murdered in 1905
Back in 1905, Lavaca County was having
its share of violence, murder, revenge, and
the like.
In those days if you had a quarrel with
someone it was usually settled with firearms
and although Hollywood would portray it
differently; there were very few times when
the participants dueled face-to-face on some
dusty western street and the man with the
quicker draw being the winner. It really didn’t
happen that way; more likely than not, the
poor victim was shot from ambush.
When a lady was the cause of some dispute,
it seemed as if revenge was the order of the
day. And it didn’t take long for the grieving
family members to get even. As is the case in
the following story taken from the pages of
an old issue of The Hallettsville Herald. This
article is not edited and appears just as it did
over 100 years ago.
Headline: “Shell Mason Pays the Penalty
of a Woman’s Ruin” - The Hallettsville Her-
ald - May 18,1905
Another killing has occurred in Lavaca
County. Tuesday morning at 6:30 o’clock,
Shell Mason, a prominent citizen of Yoakum,
was shot and instantly killed by M.A. and P. A.
Newman. Mason was shot as he was leaving
Fred Mason’s residence, the Newman boys
being in a lower room of the Lane Hotel
across the street.
Both men used Winchesters. One ball
crashed through Mason’s head and another
entered his body. The spark of life flickered
of Miss Lillian Newman in
Runge three weeks ago
Mason was held accountable
for her death, and Dr. J.M
Boyd of Yoakum is now un-
der $5000 bond in the case.
Abortion was alleged.
Miss Newman was a
trained nurse and was re-
garded as a heroine. In the
summer of 1903 when yel-
low fever appeared in this
locality, she volunteered to
nurse the fever patients in the Bennet fam-
ily in DeWitt County. She also contacted the
fever but recovered. As a token of apprecia-
tion for her heroism the citizens of Yoakum
and Cuero made up a fund and presented
her with a fine gold watch. She was 28 years
old, an intelligent woman, and of comely ap
pearance.
After the shooting the Newmans surren-
dered to Constable Allan Humphries and
were held in Yoakum for an examining trial.
Deputies Jim Deborah and Charley Munson
and County Attorney W.T. Bagby went over on
the afternoon train. The examining trial was
postponed until yesterday and at the hour
of going to press nothing further had been
heard of the case.
