      No, Potter County hasn’t been conquered by Chile. The county flew the Chilean flag instead of the Texas banner over the courthouse for a whole day before anyone noticed. The manufacturer had apparently put the similar-looking Chilean flag into a package marked “Texas.” Chile’s flag has a blue field with a single white star in the left-hand corner. The rest of the flag is a white stripe above a red stripe. The Texas flag has a blue field with a white star over the entire left-hand side. The right side is a white stripe above a red stripe. The mixup was noticed last week by Paul Hermann, an assistant district attorney. “We thought we had been invaded, overthrown, and didn’t know about it,” Hermann said.
