A family from here moved to Sewe1l
some time ago taking with them some
ducks and as soon as they were let
out of the pen the citizens gave chase,

count nearly similar. A family moved
here with some geese, and they get
ting out into farmers grass field,
were seen and citizen notified of the

but before expectations were realized
