Woman's Head Found in Lake.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. August 13.-The
head of a woman. evidently about forty
years Of age, was found floating in the
lake near the breakwater last night The
features are well preserved.
An examination of the head at the
county morgue shows that the arteries
were filled with red lead. such as is used
in medical colleges. and at least one of
the arteries had been tied. This seems
to indicate that the head belonged to q
subject that had been dissected.
