Adolph Hartmann of Duluth, Minnesota, fought a duel with Lieutenant Pachmann of the German Army over derogatory remarks Pachmann made against the United States and Americans. The duel took place in Aachen, Germany, where Hartmann is studying mining and smelting engineering. Pachmann collapsed in the nineteenth round after receiving a wound to the jugular vein and it is estimated he will need three months to recover.
