Operating Vehicle While Tipsy Henry Tidwell and W. T. Miles, white, were found guilty in Recorder Court Tuesday of operating a vehicle, to wit, a horse, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor in the town of Weldon. They pled guilty and each was fined $50 and costs and their licenses to operate a motor vehicle were revoked for 12 months. It is reported neither owned a car nor had a driver’s license.
