Riot in Montana’s Territorial Prison
Deer Lodge, Montana-1959
At about 3:30 p.m. on 16 April 1959, guard Gus Byars was alone on the catwalk of Cellblock 1 across
from where Myles and Smart were loitering. Byars turned to open a window to the brisk spring wind
when he heard someone call his name. He turned into a splash of gasoline which hit him in the face
and chest, soaking his shirt. The men were brandishing a mop that was on fire. Byars feared for his
life, and turned over his gun and his keys. 11
