The Freeman’s Journal - Thursday, April 18, 1895

[...]A duel was fought in the neighbourhood of Paris yesterday afternoon between Messieurs Jules Huret and Catulle Mendes, two well-known literary men. The weapons used were swords, and the encounter resulted in M Mendes receiving a slight wound. The duel arose out of some remarks which M Huret made in the Petite Chronique des Lettres, in which he referred to the amicable relations subsisting between M Mendes and Mr Oscar Wilde, and to which M Mendes took exception. It is believed other duels arising out of the same motive are pending.
