In an exposure of the Fermilab 15-ft bubble chamber filled with a heavy neon-hydrogen mixture to a broadband neutrino beam, we have observed 81 dilepton events of the type ..nu../sub ..mu../ + Ne ..-->.. ..mu../sup -/ + e/sup +/ + .... This corresponds to (0.5 +- 0.15) % of the total charged-current neutrino interactions. A total of fifteen neutral strange-particle decays (K/sub s//sup 0/ ..-->.. ..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/, ..lambda../sup 0/ ..-->.. p..pi../sup -/) were found in these dilepton events. When corrected for detection efficiencies and unobservable strange particles, this is consistent with production of approximately one strange particle per event.
