From the June 23, 1895 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

Catorce, Mexico–James Atkinson, an American ore buyer, and Francisco Hernandez, a Mexican ranchman, fought a duel near Cedral, east of here yesterday, in which Atkinson was killed. These two men were devoted to the same senorita and decided to settle their love contest with pistols. The American fired three shots at his antagonist, but none of the bullets took effect. Hernandez’s second shot struck a vital spot of Atkinson’s body.”
