In November 1865, Lieutenant Osmer tracked Tom to Paiute Creek (present day Paiute Meadows resulting in 55 Paiutes and one soldier killed.[2]
In December 1865, Captain Conrad and Captain Sou[3] tracked Tom to Fish Creek (present day Battle Creek Ranch) and in the resulting battle killed forty of Tom's band with only three survivors.[2] See Wheeler's Nevada's Black Rock Desert for a detailed description of the battle.
