Event at high noon (4)

I believe the answer is:

duel

(Other definitions for duel that I've seen before include "Contest to settle point of honour" , "Fight between two people over an affair of honour" , "Combat to settle a row" , "Personal combat" , "Contest between two people, perhaps with weapons" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
