From an exposure of the 30-inch deuterium bubble chamber at Fermilab 7600 events with greater than or equal to 3 charged prongs are examined. Multiplicity distributions for $pi$$sup +$n, pn, and pd collisions are presented and one in general agreement with those expected based on knowledge of $pi$$sup - $p and pp collisions at the same energy. The pd distribution is slightly wider than expected from a combination of free pp and pn collisions, and one estimates from this that the fraction of double inelastic collisions is about 5 percent. From the fraction of events with spectator protons it is found that in about 15 percent of the inelastic break-up collisions both nucleons participate. No significant N-dependence is found in the double interaction effects so that the odd-prong multiplicities presented should correspond closely to free pn and $pi$$sup +$n collisions. An interpretation of these results is suggested. (auth)
