Captured In the Blue Ridge Mountains-
Taken 10 Ashe County for Trial
Two Winston Ladies' Dead.
fspecisl ,elerram 70 the D,sp.tch. !


WINSTON, N. c., December 17.-News
reached here to-day of the arrest on the
Blue Ridge mountains, Wilkes county, of
Rev. Harrison Blankenship. He was turned
over TO the authorities in Ashe county, by
wkom he was wanted for deserting his
family last summer and skipping, taking
with him the wife of his neighbor, Ham
Walters. she leaving q number Of small
children at home. Blankenship was Bap-
tist preacher and at the time Of his sudden
departure was pastor of several small
churches IN the upper part of Wilkes and
in Ashe county. Although his education
was limited. he was gaining considerable
popularity as a minister.
A LARGE FAMILY.
Besides his pastoral charges he left o
wife and seven or eight small children,
four of whom have since died, and IL is
said that the neighboT physician attributes
the deaths in part 20 the inability Of the mother
TO properly provide and care for them, a. the
unnatural husband and father was their sole do
pendenco for support.
HOW he WAS CAUGHT.
Blankenship came back TO his fathers where
he WAS arrested, claiming that he had secured a
divorce from his wife and had married the
"partner Of his flight" Considerable indigna-
tiOn stiI prevails ia Ash5 over the affair, and
many OF the neighbOrs are said 70 be In favor OF
lynchlng Blankenship.
