Hass Lass, of Cleona Township, Scott Township, has been arrested, charged with incest with his two daughters. One of the daughters had her infant in her arms, and swore that her father was its father. The testimony of the two daughters, and of a farmer who told what he saw one day when the father and the daughters were at work in the field, was sufficient to induce the Justice to hold Lass to bail in the sum of $100.
