Grand Rapids, Mich. - Aug. 19. - AMIEL GUSCH, the fugitive, was captured Sunday, eight miles south of Hastings by Deputy Sheriff OSBORNE of Nashville, and is now in jail at Hastings. An immense crowd of farmers and citizens surrounded the jail Sunday night and the officers feared mob violence. Last week GUSCH and CHARLES BREARLEY, who were wanted for wheat stealing, fired upon Deputy Sheriff PETER SINCLAIR and his brother DANIEL, who had warrants for them, and instantly killed DANIEL. BREARSLEY was wounded and captured, but GUSCH escaped to the woods and, well armed, had been terrorizing the neighborhood since, men fearing even to go out except in squads and heavily armed. In the afternoon OSBORNE and two friends were driving toward Battle Creek and saw a man sitting by the roadside. They offered him a ride and when he got on the buggy they asked him his name and he gave it as GUSCH. They they took him to Hastings. He was completely exhausted with tramping and lack of food and shelter and said he was glad to be locked up. ===============================================================================
