shocked Saturday morning to learn
of his death, which had occurred
sometime between 5 and Z o'clock
of that morning by hanging. Mr..
Rowell had been suffering from a
nervous trouble for a long time, but
there had been no radical change
in him within the past few days,
however. 1t had been his custom
to rise at 5 .o'clock and take walk
before breakfast, and on Saturday
morning he arose at the usual time
and dressed and went down stairs.
When Mrs. Rowell arose somewhat
later to prepare the breakfast, she
could not see any tracks through
the snow that had fallen during the
night. and upon investigation found
him in the stable. Life was already
extinct. Mr.. Rowell was born o6
years ago in the town of Scion on
what is known as Rowell Hill, the
son Of Eben and Mary Knight
Rowell. He was married to Mary
Corson of Athens. He was at one
time employed by c. w. Day as a
clerk, and has for some years back
been employed by the Standard Oil
Co. He is survived by his widow.

sister, Mrs. Eta Pierce of Scion; and

ices will be held this afternoon at

Old Square Pianos
Much In Demand

Los Angeles, Mar. 21-(AP)-A
corner in squares, the ancient
piano that was popular before the
vogue of the upright or grand, has
caused mild furry in the musical
instrument market here
The squares" until recently were
to be found in some numbers at the
large piano stores. But the craving
for antique furniture and the demand
from the movie studio for the instru-
ments to be used in pictures having
settings of seventy-five years ago,
has virtually depleted the available
supply.
A search Of the piano shops re-
!vealed there are scarcely any left
in playable condition.
The case of the old square" was
usually made of rosewood or mahog-
any; of solid pieces rather than We
neering. There was art and skill in
the work of the old cabinet makers
and even modern owners who do not
care for the square tone". admire
the old instruments for the superb
craftsmanship and artistry that went
into their making.
