(CP)--Pro- vincial police posted a guard to- day to tect a bank manager who one member of a hooded gang that robbed his bank of $5,700 Thursday. Police Constable Sam Kill was assigned to guard manager Charles Farran from possible reprisals by survivors of the gang who stormed out of Arun- del in a half-ton pickup truck under a hail of bullets and shot- gun' pellets, Farran's wife and two chil- dren were sent out of town for safety, The robbers are being sought in Montreal and in Arundel, 60 miles northwest of Montreal.

A small crowd had gathered near the service station but no one was injured. Farran said that bandits turned right as they left town, instead of left. They abandoned the truck and their wounded companion after finding them- selves stranded on a dead-end bush road. An earlier report said bank employes were warned of the bandits' approach by a small boy who saw them driving back and forth in front of the bank, but this was denied by the man- ager. Mr. Farran said no one was aware of the impending holdup before he noticed masked men getting out of a truck in front of the bank. Two bank employes and a woman customer on the prem- ises at the time of the robbery were unharmed.
