The Chase County Court House is a monument of Chase County limestone and walnut woodwork. Most of the wonderful 19th Century buildings in Chase County were built from the superb limestone of the county but also the capital in Topeka and most of the major buildings on the campus of Kansas State University. The Chase County Court House stands as a symbol of the unique qualities of Chase County. It is a testament to the foresight of the leaders of this area as they have preserved this enduring symbol of the Flint Hills.

This is another prime example of the incompetence of Kansas prosecutors. County Attorneys carry enormous discretionary powers. This implies that they actually think and act accordingly. In this particular case, the "victim" attacked the charged person in his home on two occasions in one day. The victim was not only drunk and probably high on drugs, he has a black belt in karate. Who is the victim in this case? Hopefully this might be dropped or possibly the real guilty party prosecuted--for assault. If this actually goes to trial, the voters of Lyon County should kick the prosecutor out in the street and require him to actually earn a living the old fashioned way--honest work.

The Gazette article on the shooting states the following: "Officers found William Michael Calvert, 29, lying on the floor near the front entrance to the home. He had a gunshot wound to his upper left shoulder with an exit wound near the center of his back."
