Old-fashioned duel between Uruguayan generals ends in bluster
Two retired Uruguayan army generals, Liber Seregal and Juan Ribas, staged a bloodless duel with muzzle-loading pistols. Both missed all four shots at 100 feet under an umpire's orders. The fight arose from Ribas calling Seregni a traitor and coward after the November elections where Seregni ranked third for the Broad Front and Ribas finished last in an 11-candidate field. A military tribunal later ruled there were grounds for the duel and Seregni chose pistols as the weapon.
