Matrimonial troubles of Timothy Church Lowe placed him behind the bars of the Montgomery county Jail.
 According to all reports Church loved not wisely, but too many. He was ar rested for bigamy and was released on bond.
 Overlooking this obligation Church made a sudden disappearance and was mending well his way as he wished until he struck a snag yesterday in the person of the sheriff of the county of Fillmore. .
 An arrest was made and Deputy will Hill brought Church to Mont aomerv last night. At 9 o'clock he was under lock and key in the county /bastile.
 Church was arrested for bigamy and } was called to appear before the court

in November. He failed to appear When the case was called at the Feb ruary term of court he also failed to put in an appearance. Since then he has been among the missing until he was apprehended near Wetumpka yes terday and brought to Montgomery.
 Church made his second move in the matrimonial game when he married Miss Pauline Reynolds, who is well connected and who lived in this countt. As a result of this union, child was born.
 It seems that Church entered into the bond of matrimony many years before when he carried to the altar Miss Hatties Gulletz of Elmore county.
 Out of this matrimonial tangle grew the trouble which has resulted in thu incarceration of Timothy Church.
