Bloody British Bruisers.

LIVERPOOL, April ia horribly brutal
prize fight occurred in Lancashire yester-
day, between the noted wrestlers Moran,
of Wigan, and Haigh, of Standish. They
were naked with the exception of trous-
ers and clogs, but in the first round the
trousers were torn to shreds. The clogs
were finally used as weapons of offense
and defense. The bodies of the men
presented sickening spectacle at the
close. They were scanned, SCARED and
gashed in all directions. Haigh was de-
clared victor and Moran was carried
home unconscious.
