To punish Comanches for their recent raids on the western settlements, as well as to find the Lockhart and Putnam children captured the previous December, John H. Moore leads an expedition of 55 settlers and 54 Indians (Lipan Apaches and Tonkawas) up the San Saba River valley. On Spring Creek, twelve miles northwest of present-day San Saba, the force attacks a large Comanche camp. One Texan, Joseph S. Martin, is killed. Thirty to forty Comanches are reported killed, including Chief Quinaseico, and a large number of horses retrieved.
