On April 26, Captain Evan Thomas commanding five officers, sixty-six troops and fourteen Warm Spring Scouts left Gillem's camp on a reconnaissance of the lava beds to locate the Modoc. While they were eating lunch at the base of Sand Butte (now [[Hardin Butte]]), in a flat area surrounded by ridges, Captain Thomas and his party were attacked by 22 Modoc led by Scarfaced Charley. Some of the troops fled in disorder. Those who remained to fight were either killed or wounded. US casualties included four officers killed and two wounded, one dying within a few days, and 13 enlisted men killed and 16 wounded.

Dopo l'assalto Modoc molti soldati chiesero al colonnello di venire tolti dal servizio. Il 2 maggio il generale di brigata [[Jefferson Columbus Davis]], nuovo comandante del [[dipartimento della Columbia]], prese il comando da Gillem ed assunse il controllo dell'intero esercito.

Following the successful Modoc attack, many soldiers called for Col. Gillem to be removed. On May 2, Bvt. Brigadier General [[Jefferson C. Davis]], the new commander of the [[Department of the Columbia]], reported to relieve Gillem of command, and assume control of the army in the field.
