Frank Stickney, one Of the best
posted men on stock and farm condi-
tions, is spending the day in this
city.
He states that conditions. from an
agricultural point of view, are gradu-
ally improving This is particularly
noticeable in the sheep business Re-
cent shipments from the Fcrnley Sec
ton brought satisfactory prices, in
fact he states that market sheep are
in brisk demand and that profitable
price is being paid.
The hay in the Lovelock valley has
been disposed of, in fact, he is OF the
belief that there are more feeders IN
that section than hay, which should
help the Fallon market.
Considerable hay has been disposed
OF in the reclamation district, but the
hang over from last year was the
trouble. Should cold weather come
TO the California range he believes the
Fallon- Fernley sections will find a
market for their hay.
Beef is at a low price considering
the cost OF last year. but he IS of the
opinion that the low point has been
reached and that there will be steady
advance to place where the stockmen
can see profits.
The reent storm which covered the
state will make crops next year and
relieve situation which was grow
| ing tense with the farmers and stock
men, Many of the big sheepmen
have moved their flocks to the deserts

section where excellent range is be-
ing found. Last year, owing to lack
of snow, little OF this range was cev-

ANGELO CR|CCO
REFUSES PARDON

a case having an international as
pcct has been brought to the attention
OF the Nevada prison and parole Off
cias through the refusal of Angelo
Chcca, an Italian of Lyon county to
accept a pardon and his demand that
the record of the trial and incarccra-
ton be wiped out. The case has been
brought to the attention Of the minis
ter of foreign affairs i'll Italy and the
counsel and attorney for the Italian
government at San Francisco
During 1919 Chicca was convicted
of burglary and sentenced to the state
prison for Ia years. An alleged
partner i'll the crime. c. Del Porta
was also found guilty and received a
like sentence. Both men were turned
over to Warden Henrichs. Del Porta
was parolcd in few months on ac
count of the death of his wife, who
left four small children.
Chicca from the moment of his ar
rest to this time has maintained his
innocence. and so impressed the ward
en- and encouragement that he was
offered parole. This he refused.
Nor would he take pardon. insisting
that he be taken back to Ierington
given fair trial and freed. He also
insists that the prison measurements,
the finger prints and his photograph,
all be destroyed. and he won't leave
the prison until some such action is
taken.
Upon. Investigating the case, the at
torncy general and others have founC
a strange story. Chicca was employed
br Del Porta on his farm. Del
Porta and his wife often made trips
away from the ranch and the wife
dressed in mems clothes. on one occa-
sion borrowing Chicca's. Following
a robbery in Ycrington. Del Porta
was arrested. and there being evil
dcncc OF an accomplicc Del Porta
named Chicca as the accomplice to
shield his wife. He was arrested. con-
vcted. and sentenced.
After hearing the story. the state
are trying to ti-ink out
scheme or plan to clear the marks
against him. His refusal to take a
pardon stumps the authorities. and 1t
is now believed that an Italian govern
mcnt representative will arrive shortly
and endeavor to prevail on Chicca to
accept pardon and see his record
wiped out.
The Italian ambassador at Wash
ington and Italian representatives at
San Francisco are working on the
case.
Chicca contends that the accomplice
was Mrs. Del Porta and that at the
time of the robbery he was in bed on
the farm and knew nothing OF the
robbery until he was arrested. He
further contends that he was never
given a real trial and, that he being
an innocent man, had the right of res
titution OF all privileges and also the
wiping out of any criminal score
against him.
Furthermore, he shows that Del
Porta owed him fife months'wages at
the time of his arrest and conviction
none Of which has ever been paid.
Carson Appeal
1t is the belief OF the Lyon County
authorities that Chicca is insane. The
man was convicted by jury and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary on charge
OF burglary and should he be released
he would face the court on scvera
other counts.
