"Judge Hoagland was an intense Republican in politics, yet for many years Police Judge of Shepherdsville. He is said to have talked through his nose, and used to threaten to cut everybody with a hatchet, which was his favorite weapon. For many years he kept the Hoagland House, which, in its day, was the first hotel in Shepherdsville, and, among other things, is charged with dealing in liquid refreshments, in violation of the Bullitt County law, although at the same time, perhaps, entertaining the Circuit Judge, the Commonwealth's Attorney and the grand and petit juries. But one indictment that it was believed would 'stick' was gotten up against him, and before his trial he was called to a higher court. Judge Hoagland was once nominated by the Republicans for Representative from Bullitt and Spencer counties, when Hon. Wilhite Carpenter was the Democratic nominee, and, although the latter was handsomely elected, Judge Hoagland was very proud of the fact that he carried Bullitt."
