==Battle of Dry Lake==
{{Main|Battle of Dry Lake}}

At first light on May 10, the Modoc attacked an Army encampment at Dry Lake. The troops charged, routing the Modoc. Casualties among the Army included five men killed, two of whom were Warm Spring Scouts, and twelve men wounded. The Modoc reported five warriors killed. Among the five was [[Ellen's Man]], a prominent man in the band. This was the first defeat of the Modoc in battle.

With the death of Ellen's Man, dissent arose among the Modoc, who began to split apart. A group led by Hooker Jim surrendered to the Army and agreed to help them capture Captain Jack. In return, they received [[amnesty]] for the murders of settlers at Tule Lake, Canby and Thomas.

Captain Jack, his wife, and young daughter were captured by army scouts; Captain William F. Drannan, U.S. Army {{dubious|date=September 2015}} <!--SEE TALK Re CPT Drannan--> and Scout George Jones, U.S. Army in Langell's valley, June 4. <!--SEE TALK-->
