Interment in LoudoiPark Cemetery. DEATHS Hill road) on to 4 and 7 to 9 PONIES, From Dl The herd swam about 140 ponies this year across the Chin-coteague Channel to this island Wednesday. The ponies awaited yesterday's sale penned up in a big chain-link-fence corral in a stand of towering ocean pines. And a lot of little girls and boys who've read "Misty of Chincoteague" crowd the fence looking for the pony they want mom or dad to buy at the auction. The fire department's been rounding up and selling the ponies for 65 years but Marguerite Henry's charming and beloved novel really put this place on the map.

"Everybody's read says well, everybody in just those words. Harold Savage, a 61-year-old waterman who has been a volunteer firefighter 32 years, remembers the roundup used to be a little more wild and woolly years ago. "They used to have them cut-off shotgun boots and they'd stick two, three half-pints of whiskey in 'em," Savage says. "Never a boot without one," another old-timer says, by way of verification. "Used to get half-drunk and fall off their horses," Savage says.

"The old-time riders were pretty rugged." Various animal rights activists and humane societies watch the left hand. He was taken to Shock-Trauma, where he was reported today in critical but stable condition. Witnesses told police King had been at the corner of Eager Street and Luzerne Avenue when a man began shooting at him "for no apparent reason." At 3:15 a.m., police in the Eastern District responded to a shooting in the 400 block of E. 22'i St. Jenkins said Mageline Davis, 42, of the 600 block of E.

21st and Greg Martin, 39, of the 400 block of E. 20th were walking east in the 400 block of E. 22'2 St. when they heard someone shout, "Kill them all!" Davis was struck in the forehead, right shoulder and chest by a shotgun blast. She was taken to University Hospital, where she was treated and released.

mileage out of the controversy. "I'm just an old mountain boy from up the road there a ways," he says. "But on the news this morning I heard that the ponies were being sold for human pleasure. Do not take any nude pictures ot these ponies," he says. "We're not going to exploit these ponies for human pleasure.

Do not take any nude pictures." Emelie Acquisto and her family came down from Binghamton, N.Y., just to get a pony. They picked him out last Sunday on Assateague Island. "Before they even herded them up," she says. "We just fell in love with him." They even named him "Saint Jasper." He's a little pinto colt. She paid $375 for him.

"When I was a little girl," Emelie says, "my father bought me a pony that was just six months old. And I had that pony for 35 years. We lost him last year. He died of old age. "I can't replace him, of course," she says.

"But I've got two kids of my own now, 2 and 4, and I wanted a pony like this for them to grow up with." "Did you read 'Misty' when you were growing up?" the guy taking notes asks. "Everybody's read she says. 2510 or 783-2507.

BARTON PHILLIP BISHOP WILLIAM roundup closely these days.

They worry about mistreatment of the ponies. But nobody demonstrated at either the swim or the auction. Robin C. Lohnes, executive director of the American Horse Protection Association, monitors the sale. She says the firefighters are improving.

"But there's still room for improvement," she insists. She likes to start a dialogue with the firefighters. She mostly worries about foals too young to be weaned. Most of the ponies sold yesterday were 4, 5, or 6 months old, which is about the time they normally would be weaning. The firefighters are acutely aware of the activists' criticism and try to take counter measures.

The foals and the weeklong carnival that goes along with the roundup and sale are the fire company's main sources of revenue. They de-worm and vaccinate the herd and they had a veterinarian on duty full time this year. Animal activists say the swim is very, very stressful for the foals. Dr. Charles Cameron, the veterinarian, says it's good exercise and being in the water keeps the ponies cool.

He sent foals too young to be weaned back to Assateague to stay with their dams until the fall. Bernie Pleasants gets a little 539-7700 FAX (301 783 taitn.
