Officer Hogsett was stabbed to death at the county fair while attempting to arrest a man. The suspect and another man had gotten into an altercation over a seat on a ride. When Officer Hogsett attempted to arrest one of the men the man pulled a pocket knife and stabbed Officer Hogsett. The man also stabbed and wounded another officer before being taken into custody. Fearing the citizens would lynch the suspect, he was taken to Fort Scott to be locked up.
