Col. Eugene Tisdale, river editor of the New Orleans Chronicle, 
while crossing the track of the Morgan railroad, was knocked 
down Monday evening by a switch-engine.  The wheels passed over 
his left leg above the knee, crushing it and fracturing the bone 
of the right leg.  It became necessary to amputate the left leg 
Tuesday, and on Wednesday the Colonel died.  He was a prominent 
and popular citizen of Monroe in 1866-8, and a Mason of high standing.
